Many Paths, One Truth

You have heard it said, 'This is the true path,' and another says, 'No, that is the true path.' 

This is the mind of preference, the mind that falls ill by dividing the One into 'this' and 'that.'

I say to you, do not judge the path a person walks. 

The Way is not a road, but a manner of walking. 

Do not look at the name of the path, but at the heart of the walker. 

Do they walk with humility? 

Are they merciful? 

Do they make peace? 

Are they pure in heart?

The mountain peak does not care if you climb from the east or the west; it only knows you have arrived. 

When you are pure in heart, you will see: the path, the walker, and the peak are all One. 

The paths themselves vanish, and only the Kingdom remains.
