Whichever path one follows, the thing is to follow it,not to argue

about it. A Christian priest once toldBhagavan that he considered the

goal of mystic unionenvisaged by Christians to be different from the

Hindugoal of moksha[liberation] and superior to it, and Bhagavan

replied,"All right, attain that first and then see whether youstill

find any difference or anything to criticize".That was always his

reply - to turn the critic fromtheory to practice. Argument did not

interest him,only understanding and sincere

effort.'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''For Those

An important question, I think, to ask about "paths" is Don Juan's question:

Does this path have a heart?
