Walk The Proper Path

Upon entering the Center for the recent 3-day retreat, the first thing I saw was Master's instruction: "Walk on the proper paths; do not walk on the dirt or wrong paths made by others."

At first, I didn't feel it would be hard to comply with this instruction. However, in actuality when it was more troublesome to walk the proper path, because it meant taking a long route to reach my destination, I was often tempted to take the time-saving route. Whenever I had to make such decisions, a familiar feeling would always emerge in my heart.

Right! This instruction is also applicable to our spiritual path. To the secular mind, the proper path is not always the most convenient one. However, by taking the easy way out, though convenient, we may act against our principles. Master reminds us not to be tempted by temporary conveniences. The only shortcut on our spiritual path is adhering to Master's instructions.
