Hence, the Sahajiya school, describing a quotidian ecology independent of encapsulation in any ‘a priori’ scheme of ideas, conceptions, or ideologies. The path is not prefabricated.

Zachary Markwith There is no Way; the way is made by walking. Antonio Machado "We are really 'saved' when we no longer think of ourselves as 'saved,' because there is no alternative.
