According to the dialectics of Naga Arjuna, there is no path, no steps on a path, all truth is relative, there is no movement, time or duration. In fact, things may not move around at all - no objects or individual have 'own nature', that is, an *absolute* existence. These kinds of phenomena are just thought-instants that appear to be substantial - doors tables, running and jumping, or consulting with our friends are all just an *appearance only*.
