“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.”
