Those who really seek the path to Enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. Then they proceed with strong determination.
You cannot travel on the path until you become the path itself.
The stages of the Noble Path are: Right View, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Behavior, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration.
Through zeal, knowledge is gotten; through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost; let a man who knows the double path of gain and loss thus place himself that knowledge may grow.
