The end of the Long Path is signaled also by the sudden appeal which the Short Path now makes to the aspirant. It tells him that he has quested quite enough in the old way, which is the long way, the excessive way, so that he has become obsessed by it. It tells him that he is now standing in his own light, that he must get out of the way, and that this can be done only by entering on the Short Path, which is preoccupied not with the personal self and its advancement or purification or elevation, but with the Overself.
