The goal is not at the very end of the Way, the goal is all along the
Way - each moment and each step it is there. It is not that when the
Way ends you have arrived at the goal; each moment, whereever you are,
you are at the gaol if you are on the Way. To be on the Way is to be at
the goal.
The Way is not like a super highway; the way is like a bird flying in
the sky - it leaves no footprints behind. The bird has flwon but no
tracks are left to follow. The Way is a pathless path. It is not ready-
made, available; you cannot just decide to walk on it, you will have to
find it. You will have to find it in your own way; nobody elses's way
will do. You are you, a unique individual. Only by walking, only by
living your life, will you find the Way. This is something of great
value.
