"...the fundamental secret and cunning of all priests, at all times and throughout the world, whether they be Brahmans or Mohammedans, Buddhists or Christians, are that they have rightly recognized and understood the great strength and ineradicability of man's metaphysical need."
Schopenhauer, Parerga and Paralipomena, II, § 176.
"The Way", once trodden, tends to end up in someone else’s self-interest.
