Gabriel was still sitting there and he met teacher.

How can I reach the sheepfold? All the others seem to be able to find it, he asked.
But teacher lived in the twenty-first century.

There’s no one way. There are many guardians if the ways all are equally valid. There is Buddha, Muhammad, Jesus, Abraham. There is your conscience. Seek your faith no longer in one faith.

Indeed, now Gabriel saw that his road had come to a junction. Many roads now veered to left and to right, to north, south, east, and west. Some broad, flat, and easy, some narrow, sunny, and winding, rising, it seemed, into barren hills.

Teacher was still talking “But realise that what matters is to understand all people. All thoughts to trust in all.”

But Gabriel still thought on the words he had read for today:

The light have come into the world, so that whoever believes in me need not stay in the dark anymore.

Now it was indeed growing dark. What was the way?
