Journey? Destination/Outcome?

Question

Which is more important? The journey, or the destination/outcome?

i was kinda looking for a simple straight forward answer, but sometimes long and complicated is better...

Answer 1

If all roads lead to Rome, then obviously journey is more important than the destination or outcome. In any case the destination or outcome depends heavily on the direction and quality of journey. That is why life is so special.

Answer 2

the journey, of course.

take huck finn for example: he needed to go on his journey before he good end up in the south and give america a thumbs up or thumbs down. he couldnt have made the same judgement [at least have viable reasons] to make the judgement if he just rode down there on a buggy- he wouldnt have had a single one of his experiences- too many to choose to talk about or get into, that shaped who he was.
had he only focused on the destination, he wouldnt have known what do to/whre to go where he would find more happiness in the rest of his life- to stay in the generally eastern half of america that was home to the many things he disliked, or to go where his open-spirit was nurtured- in the west.

there are countless more examples, i wont bore you with them.
ill just say, the odyssey.

actually it depends on what you mean by outcome, because the journey is important, since you emrge from it with such meaningful gains. so technically, if the destination/outcome is more abstract, they are close to the same thing.
but i dont think this is the question, so the answer remains: the journey

PRIME SOUL, ALMIGHTY, CREATION AND WE ARE ONE :

Till now, whatever topic that has come in front – in that the advice of taking divine path and worshiping it to get it has much been talked about. But, god ( Almighty ) is not a substance to be lost or to be found. Neither ‘he’ get pleased by your worship and offerings, nor does he get irritated for being scolded. This sky of infinity is the prime soul and we are in it. The earth is in a size of a needle tip in comparison to its whole body. It pervades every where. It is not separate from you and you are not separate from it. Then, who are searching for ? Inside and outside of you, every where its representation is visible. If you think “I” am here; then also prime soul is there. If you think “I am not here”, still prime soul is there. Neither anything is lost by you, nor are you going to get anything. Try it ! try standing on one leg for thousand years carrying out penance.

If the worship of a special manner had any power in it, then the bus packed with pilgrims would not have fallen to the pit down hill. And, you wouldn’t have spent rest of your life being crippled. Your deeds and circumstances decides your destiny. You consider somebody a god whom you don’t know at all the body of the prime soul is this creation only. The sun, moon are parts of this creation, and these human beings are tiny part of the same. Likewise, if the sun and moon are Gods then you also are Gods. Thus, God’s existence is not effected whether you worship or not. Off course, it is a truth that the materials used for worshiping are mind purifiers for their sacred odor or properties.

This universal setup is preprogrammed as a video games in a certain manner. The ‘remote control’ to run it properly is only in your hand. Miss it ! and the game is over.

The course of development is Darwin’s Evolution Principle is stated as – no human civilization was present in the beginning, but human being is the result of series of development that occurred to a creature. From a four legged creature only human being got its present form by straightening up its spine to become caveman, and got the present purified form long time after that. The day spine gets properly straighten up, it will turn into a species having divine personality.

In the mind of stone, it longed for producing something superior that it. This resulted in the creation of river. The river wanted something superior than itself – the vegetation got produced. From the vegetation, animals of superior qualities were created, and then creation of human being took place like this, the serial development is going on. In the mind of everyone creating something superior than itself is wished, after lot of transformations human being will achieve divinity, and it will get merged with the Almighty then every inert or conscious of the creation is the combine representation of germs and atoms. The sky stretched infinitely. The hugeness of it can never be desceibed in words. With, even billions of year of journey we cannot major the sky in any direction. The whole creation represent the combined or reduced (energy, gas) form of atoms and germs. Like this, the creation is an unit. A tiny part – like molecule of sand, molecule of clay, molecule of water, a plant of vegetation, a part of machine, a creature, we are self- activated part of the creation. Feeding on and digesting one another or shaking hands with nature we change our forms, the shape is made or get destroyed, but the quantity remains the same. Starting from a small molecule to the bigger spheres, all of them are bound to an automatic system as if they follow certain law or regulation. Just because they are made from ‘energy’, all of them are independent and are on motion.

Answer 4

If you're talking heaven or hell, then I say the destination is more important.
