Becoming the Path
BEING: Dissolving the Line Between Seeker and Guide
DOING: Living So the Way Walks Through You
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
— Gandhi
BEING
At first, we search for the path.
We study maps, follow teachers, read texts.
Later, we walk it.
Step by step, learning through practice.
But eventually, something shifts.
You are no longer on the path.
You are the path.
Your Being itself becomes instruction.
Not because you are perfect,
but because the practice has entered your marrow.
Breath, action, stillness — all inseparable.
The path isn’t somewhere you go.
It’s what you become.
DOING
Today, experiment with being the path:
In one ordinary action — making tea, answering an email, walking the street — pause and ask: “What if this is not practice toward the path, but the path itself?”
Do it with full presence, as if the Way is moving through you
Trust that others watching, even silently, will feel it
You don’t need to announce.
You don’t need to prove.
Just live so fully in alignment that the path is undeniable.
CLOSING LINE
“When the path disappears under your feet,
it is because it has entered your bones.”
