Quote by Helen P. Blavatsky
We cut these numerous windings in our destinies daily with our own hands, while we imagine that we are pursuing a track on the royal high road of respectability and duty, and then complain of those ways being so intricate and so dark. We stand bewildered before the mystery of our own making, and the riddles of life that we will not solve, and then accuse the great Sphinx of devouring us.

It suggests that we often fail to realize that our own choices and actions contribute to the confusion and challenges we face. Instead of taking responsibility for these self-imposed dilemmas, we often blame external forces, symbolized here by the great Sphinx. The quote urges us to introspect and acknowledge our role in shaping our destinies, thereby encouraging personal growth and self-awareness.
