The good news is that when you are...um..."far away" from your goal, then any general step you take in that direction is helpful.  Later on, you may have to make specific choices as to which is a more direct path, but at an early stage, any steps in the direction of knowing the self/Self are beneficial.  So, you might want to just go forth putting one foot ahead of the other and worry about the details as you come to them.  And if this leads you nowhere, then at least you had some exercise.
