Rumi words: "As you start to walk on the way, the way appears", have been very true for my spiritual journey

I think these words attributed to Jalaluddin Rumi, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumi - "As you start to walk on the way, the way appears", have been very true for my spiritual journey which started in earnest in the early 1990s. It is not instant and it is not without challenges but as one goes through the challenges, one realizes that the way forward spiritually has appeared.

Seek and you shall find is another great and promising spiritual teaching/revelation in this context. I think it applies not only to the final goal of finding God but the various steps in between.

What the spiritual aspirant needs is shraddha (faith) along with courage to face the inevitable challenges that serve to improve one from a spiritual perspective, and saburi (patience) of a spiritual order (patience over a looooooong period of time :-) ). Note that Shraddha and Saburi are famous teachings of Shirdi Sai Baba, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sai_Baba_of_Shirdi.
