It is telling, for example, that Yahweh means the "God of the Way" or that in Arabic, Il-Rah, originally used to signify a migration path, was later appropriated by the Sufi mystics to describe "the Way to God." Christ and his Apostles walked the hills and valleys of Palestine. The quest for Zen is also referred to as angya, or "going on foot." Early Buddhists were "wandering alms seekers," and their master's last words to his followers were, appropriately enough, "Walk on!" The potential pilgrim is unlikely to find two better words of advice.
