All roads...

Sri Ramakrishna, an 'Avatar' as some call him and a well-revered spiritual teacher of Bengal, used to say "Jato mat tato path", meaning literally that there are as many ways (to attain spiritual liberation) as there are doctrines.

While studying and practising law, I've felt this in a very wee scale. When one delves into the realm of inner thoughts and reasoning to fully understand and develop a legal point in the mind's eye, one often gets a sort of insight, a flash which not only explains the issue at hand but entire concepts and outlooks. One feels at these moments that full and sustained concentration on any subject ultimately leads to the same rudimentary principles of existence.

I know I appear to be unnecessarily philosophical, but believe me, it's my most practical experience.
