The pursuit of a spiritual path is not like selecting a new suit of clothes.To select a new suit one need only try on a number of suits,inspect oneself in the mirror, and select the suit in which one appears most attractive.

心靈修持之道和選擇新衣服大不相同，要選擇一套 新衣服，只要試穿很多套，站在鏡子前面看看自己，然 後挑出讓自己看起來最吸引人的那套就可以。

The choice of a spiritual path is closer to marriage:one wants a partner for life,one whose companionship will prove as trustworthy and durable as the pole star in the night sky.

 心靈修持之道的選擇比較像婚姻,如果某個人想要找一位終身伴侶,那就需要證明這個人的情誼如同夜空中的北極星般,值得信賴且長久.
