The shortest path
To live without limits while maintaining your own truth of morality is surely the shortest path to self realization.
It does not mean to say that you should be impulsive but rather your adherence to your own personal code of ethics is unyielding while everything else in your life becomes as fluid as water. Eroding everything around the giant rock that is your moral duty to perfect the soul until there is nothing left and that too may collapse into the infinite fluid consciousness of an enlightened being.
