The Indian saints Kabir and Tulsi Dass, as well as St. Theresa, showed
an incredibly intense yearning and love for God. Ramana Maharshi, on the
other hand, showed the path in which the discriminative mind, through
the method of self-inquiry, extricates one from clinging even to the
concept of “I.”
Others, such as the Tibetan sages Padmasambhava and Milarepa, embodied
the skillful use of tremendous powers in the service of humanity.
Jesus reflected the purest love, compassion, and sacrifice. Buddha
showed the path of insight. All these are different routes to a single
goal, liberation.
Many, many paths to the mountain top. Each has its own sights, experiences, hazards. Don’t get stranded along the way.
- Ram Dass -
