There are many spiritual paths. Some are fairly wide and some less wide and some narrow but there is one that as far as I know is the path of the razor's edge.
It is really the rigour of the ethical component that make a path the razor's edge.
A razor's edge implies that there is very little room to move left or right. Meaning that whatever one does, one must be correct.
Getting it wrong means to slip or fall off. We can always get back on and we must do that.
Of course though the razor's edge gets sharper the further one advances on the path of the razor's edge. The sharpness of the razor is not as sharp at the beginning as it is towards the end.
The razor is many different factors, at one point it could be time, at pine pint, it could be sacrifice, at one point it could be ethics and so on...
I have always asked why a razor's edge. The answer is in the serious reality of the aim of that path. If a path is to take a person to integration with the soul, with the spirit and beyond, it has to make one soul, spirit. So such a path has to be strictly adhere to the principles of the spirit so as to in truth make soul and spirit.
If a path is not strict to the principles of the soul and spirit it won't produce soul and spirit.
Other paths that are wide may not be able to achieve their aims if they are not at some point narrowed in the adherence to the principles of their aim.
End (4501).
