PATHLESS JOURNEY
Meher Baba
Although the unfurling realization of divine knowledge is often
figuratively described as "traversing the path", this analogy should
not be taken too literally. There is no ready-made road in the
spiritual realm. Spiritual progress is not a matter of moving along a
line already laid down and unalterably defined. Rather it is a creative
process of spiritual involution of consciousness, and this process is
better described as a "spiritual journey" than as the traversing of a path.
The journey is comparable in fact to a flight through the air, and not to
a journey upon the earth, because it is truly a pathless journey. It is a
dynamic movement within the consciousness of the aspirant that creates its
own path and leaves no trace behind it.
