A PATH








Anything is one of a million paths [un camino entre cantidades de caminos].

Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path;
if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions.
To have such clarity you must lead a disciplined life.
Only then will you know that any path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you to do.
But you decision to keep on the path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition.
I warn you.
Look at every path closely and deliberately.
Try it as many times as you think necessary.
Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question. ...
Does this path have heart?
All paths are the same: they lead nowhere.
They are paths going through the bush, or into the bush.
In my own life I could say I have traversed long, long paths, but I am not anywhere.
Does this path have heart?
If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t, it is of no use.
Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart and one doesn’t.
One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life.
One makes you strong; the other weakens you.



From: “The Teachings of Don Juan: a Yaqui way of knowledge”, Carlos Castaneda

A teacher gave me this on August 8th 2005.
He teached me to learn my PATH.
He said that Life will be much easier if you learn your PATH.
Thanks a world to the Great Teacher ever.....

You're the best !!!
