Right-Hand Path vs. Left-Hand Path

Summary

Two contrasting approaches to spiritual practice. The right-hand path seeks reality through external purity: strict rules, clean environments, and social conformity to stabilize internal state. The left-hand path (Aghori) relies entirely on cultivated internal purity while intentionally embracing external filth, taboo, and transgression. Both are presented as valid frameworks; the left-hand path is distinguished by higher risk and greater demand for discipline.
