The Mystery Of The Path

So you want to get on the right path

And not just the path that others,

Almost without thought, take;

You want a path

In tune with the universe,

In tune with the depths of your being,

Something authentic.

Well, many people,

Philosophers, preachers, social scientists,

All those New Age pundits,

Will give you advice,

But watch out,

Tomorrow they will probably tell

You something different –

Philosophies and theories and fads keep changing –

And you may discover that the

So-called reveleations

From the holy books

Are also pretty suspect after all.

The truth is: the Path is

Unknowable,

Unspeakable,

Mysterious.

Yes, that’s where you must begin.

Not with answers

But with the

Mystery.
