on the Way?

How do you know you are on the Way?
When your map no longer serves you.

We are only travelers

In Tibetan, the word for body is 'lu', which means 'something you leave behind', like baggage. Each time we say 'lu', it reminds us that we are only travelers, taking temporary refuge in this life and this body.

Consciousness itself

The spiritual path is not about gaining more knowledge or settling stronger beliefs. These are activities of the mind, a protection of the ego. Spirituality is the expansion of Consciousness, the realization that we are Consciousness itself. Your being is nameless, free of any kind of identity or definition. Freedom is simply the recognition of that.

Be yourself

All respectability, all honor is meaningless
if it drives you against your nature.
What can you do if you are not a lotus flower,
but just a marigold?
Enjoy being a marigold.

Osho
