Once the destination is clear, a wise person selects and follows the route most consistent with their goal. Commitment to one’s chosen spiritual path is essential. Trying to follow several paths, even though they are compatible, dissipates energy and leads to confusion. With unwavering dedication, firm resolve, and faith, press on.
