A true pilgrimage requires letting go of the very things most people try to hold onto. In seeking after what the soul desires, we become pilgrims with no home but the path the soul would have us follow.

About This Quote

The idea of a true pilgrimage is one that leads to the soul's desires. Most people are so overwhelmed by their worldly concerns that it is hard for them to think about what they truly want. This can lead to them never reaching their full potential because they are distracted by the world. If you want to be a great person, you have to be willing to give up your worldly concerns and just let the inner desire take over.
