Toughness of spiritual path

The majority of the people will oppose the spiritual path preached by you. Only one in thousands can accept your path. Should you not be universal and preach the path acceptable to all the people?
=====================================
In spiritual path, majority always goes to hell. Gita says that one in thousands can only reach the God. Even that one person will reach the Lord after several births (Kaschit Maam Vetti, Bahunaam Janmanaam). Jesus also says that the path leading the hell is very wide with full of rush. The path leading to the Lord is very narrow and only one or two persons will be travelling. The path to the hell is filled with flowers and the path to the Lord is filled with thorns. Therefore the path to the Lord is not acceptable to all. Then shall I recommend the path filled with flowers to all the people, which is easily acceptable to all of them?

I am universal because I am preaching the narrow thorny path to all the people. But the path is not universal. I cannot help for that. In the spiritual path only minority exists. There is only one in millions like Sankara, Ramanuja, Madhva, Jesus, Sai, Vivekananda etc., in the spiritual path. The gravel stones are in majority. There is only one Kohinoor diamond, which is valuable. The fraud Gurus shows that flowery path which is “Amrutha Visham” i.e., it looks like nectar but it is actually the poison. The Satguru shows the thorny path, which is “Visha Amrutham” i.e., it looks like poison but it is actually the nectar. Gita says the same (Yat Tat Agre Vishamiva).

Everyone is able to seek God Yahweh and follow his path–everyone. The thing is that many people choose not to. He wishes all to come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9).

Just because one is dead to sin does not mean they lead a miserable life. Should a believer throw himself into pain in order to get closer with God? No! By grace we are saved, not through our works of “vain pain.”

Romans 4:3-5 (WEB)
For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as debt. But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

Yes, sometimes we must choose between the pleasures of sin for a season or affliction with God, like Moses did (Heb. 11:25). However, it is obivous that the ultimate joy is from God.

Romans 14:17 (NIV)
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit

1 Corinthians 11:3
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Stop making a haze about the true, simple faith that is in Christ. It may be hard at times, yes, but it's simple. Believing that the Son of Yahweh died for us and was resurrected may seem simpleminded to you (Rom 10:9), but it's the truth. It's really that simple.
