There is variation in how the destination is defined and how the distance between the seeker and sought is to be covered, and at least one idea asserts that there is already no distance between seeker and sought at all,

Conflict, if not condemnation, often arises between them, each claiming one to be right, and the other wrong, for example between Traditional and Neo Avaita.

A lot of this conflict could be avoided by accepting that one size does not fit all, that characters vary so that what suits one may not suit another. For example a mind that is usually successful at finding and applying solutions to problems may prefer a path and practise, while a mind that has found that a more difficult task may prefer an idea that requires no path or practise whatsoever. That roughly describes the issue between Traditional and Neo Advaita.

The point being made is that there is no need to be put off considering everything and anything in the search for what suits you, despite these conflicts that rage.

Good luck.

Might as well face it, the spiritual economy is mostly junk much the same as the physical one, and if Maccas with coke is called a 'happy meal'... you see what that implies?
