RE: From a Slave to a Master; a Memoir, chapter 2 – Two paths towards Enlightenment

One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.

Yes and no.
There are those who have walked before us, and we can walk in their trail, to make it easier, faster.
It's true though that we can insist on paving our own route through the stones.

That's the thrill of it. Paving your own path.. making your own mark.
