There is not one way which is right and all the rest wrong. Mountain climbers have to make the choice between climbing straight up to the summit by the direct route, or finding an easier route to follow. It is up to them. You make up your mind which is the right spiritual path for you and then follow it whole-heartedly. There are those souls who are seekers and have not yet found their specific path in this life. They will try one spiritual path after another and follow it a certain distance, then realise it is not for them and start off on another path. They will keep on doing it until they have found the right one. They will find the right one if they seek diligently and never give up their search. If you have found your rightful path, move ever forward and waste no time looking back or being critical of those souls who are still searching.
没有一条这样的道路,唯独它是正确的,而其余的都是错误的。
登山者需要做出这样的选择,是从直接的路线,攀爬直上登顶,还是找到一条更容易的路来走。这取决于他们。我对哪一条才是对我而言正确的精神道路做出决定,然后就全心全意地跟随它。
有一些灵魂是探求者,他们还没有找到他们在这生活中特有的道路。他们会尝试一个又一个精神道路,并跟随它一段距离,然后意识到它并不适合他们,便又开始走另一条路。他们会继续这样做,直到他们找到正确的那一条。他们会找到正确的那一条,如果他们孜孜不倦地寻找,并永远不放弃他们的探求。
如果我找到了我正确的道路,便向前迈进,不要浪费任何时间在朝后面张望,或是在批判那些还没有找到的灵魂们上。
