"No other way is like yours"
"There is only one way and that is your way. There is only one salvation and that is your salvation. Why are you looking for help? Do you believe help will come from outside? What is to come will be created in you and from you. Hence look into yourself. Do not compare. Do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you."
This part gets me every time - don't search for help from outside, search within yourself to find the answer. Feels like the near opposite of the way we're taught to deal with problems now (therapy, advice, googling everything). I'm not saying he's right, but there's something to sit with there.
Curious if anyone here has actually tried living by this - did it help, or did it just leave you more lost?
