Walking on Razor edge

kshurasya dhArA nishitA duratyayA
durgam pathah tat kavayah vadanti


The razor's edge is difficult to walk on
Likewise the wise say the Path is hard.
(Katha Upanishad, 1.3.14)

To become a Yogi one has to look the cold truth in the face. As Dag Hammarskjold said: "Never let success hide its emptiness from you, achievement its nothingness, toil its desolation. Your duty, your reward, your destiny are here and now."
