Although I might not have any specific tricks for you to copy, maybe just knowing that at least one person feels like they’ve got a clue means that you could get a clue too. The only universal truth could be that while specific spiritual tricks, techniques, practices and beliefs may not be universally applicable, anyone can get a clue.

Swami didn’t agree with the “one mountain many paths” philosophy, he said there was just one path. I don’t know what he meant by this. Maybe there is only one path for each person, as opposed to multiple paths a person can choose from. Each of our unique paths is improvised. With every step and breath we make our path, no one else walked our path before us and no one can follow.
