It is very noticeable that most of the great religious teachers or prophets prescribed nothing but a code of morals and ethics. All their teachings were characterized by an almost complete lack of formal religious observances.
They have pointed out the direction but never the path. If we follow other men's paths, we fall over the same stones they fell over, and we got lost where they got lost. Each of us must carve out his own path, and the progress we make will be determined by our own efforts to advance.
