Kilroy J. OldsterThere is more than one road to spiritual salvation. We discover a philosophical way of living by encountering the world, culling knowledge from all available resources, and thinking reverently about life.
About This Quote
There isn’t a single spiritual path that can lead a human being to salvation. Rather, there are many different paths that a person could take in their pursuit of spirituality. Each person must find their own path to salvation. While some seek enlightenment through reading philosophy books, others must engage the physical world to reach their goals.
In order to use one’s mind as a tool for finding the path, it is imperative to think carefully about what one’s life means and what one’s purpose might be. If a person is spiritually lost, they may have a hard time understanding the ways of the world and thus approach enlightenment in a manner that is not true or reasonable. If a person has taken the wrong road, it is essential to find a new one before they fail completely.
