' Beyond Where All Paths End '...

Let us understand that reality transcends all of our notions about reality.

Reality is neither Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Advaita Vedanta, nor Buddhist.

It is neither dualistic nor nondualistic, neither spiritual nor nonspiritual.

We should come to know that there is more reality and sacredness in a blade of grass than in all of our thoughts and ideas about reality.

When we perceive from an undivided consciousness, we will find the sacred in every expression of life.

We will find it in our teacup, in the breeze, in the brushing of our teeth, in each and every moment of living and dying.

Therefore we must leave the entire collection of conditioned thought behind and let ourselves be led by the inner thread of silence into the unknown, beyond where all paths end, to that place where we go innocently or not at all—not once but continually.
