Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions....

Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.

About Carlos Castañeda

Carlos Castañeda (December 25, 1925 – April 27, 1998) was an American writer. Starting in 1968, Castaneda published a series of books that describe a training in shamanism that he received under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named don Juan Matus. While Castaneda's work was accepted as factual by many when the books were first published, the training he described is now generally considered to be fictional.

Additional quotes by Carlos Castañeda

A warrior considers himself already dead, so there is nothing to lose. The worst has already happened to him, therefore he’s clear and calm; judging him by his acts or by his words, one would never suspect that he has witnessed everything.

Путь без сердца никогда не бывает радостным. Уже для того, чтобы на него выйти, приходится тяжело работать. Напротив, путь, у которого есть сердце, всегда легкий; чтобы его полюбить, не нужно особых усилий.

человек знания живет действием, а не мыслью о действии. Он выбирает путь сердца и следует по этому пути. Когда он смотрит, он радуется и смеется; когда он видит, он знает. Он знает, что жизнь его закончится очень скоро; он знает, что он, как любой другой, не идет никуда; и он знает, что все равнозначно. У него нет ни чести, ни достоинства, ни семьи, ни имени, ни родины. Есть только жизнь, которую нужно прожить.
