The Art Of Being Human: John O'Donohue

The Spiritual Path

There are endless paths that lead to Source.
And it is the connection to Source that is ultimately sought after by all.
Everyone wants to believe that they have found the path. And, oh, it is glorious when you find that which you believe is your path. That is alignment with Source Energy.
But when you say, "I have found my path, and you over there on that other path, you're not on the path," in that moment of judgment, you're not on your path either.
Compliment them on their choices. Never push against their path. Never put them in the position where they must defend their path by condemning yours.
Instead, appreciate their path. Appreciate it as their method of connecting with Source Energy. And we promise you, there is not one method that is better than the other.
Expressed by Abraham-Hicks

This Being Human

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,

who violently sweep your houseempty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honourably.He may be clearing you outfor some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

-- Rumi
