Try Free Daism, it is at http://www.he.tdl.com/~fdac/.
It might sound daft but exhausted is actually a good state to be in when
looking for your path. The ego binds you while you are searching but
eventaully you become tired. Your path will surprise you while you
temporarily stop searching. Completely crazy, does not make any sense at
all, but you will know when it happens.
Keep searching -
Below is an excerpt from one of the web pages describing how Free Daism
brings together two of the most profound religious views, those of the
Hindu Vedanta and those of Buddhism.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Advaitayana Buddhism (or, the Fourth Vehicle). Another name
Da Avabhasa has given for Free Daism.
The other schools of Buddhism make no presumption about a Divine
Being, and focus on the elimination of desire
through effort. Advaitayana Buddhism is based on presumption of a
Divine Being (the "Self" of Advaita Vedanta) who can be located
through the Grace of the Spiritual Master. Desire is transcended
not by self-effort, but Gracefully, by being distracted by Communing
with the Divine Person. The very machine of suffering (desire) is
turned toward the ultimate desirable object (the Divine) to transcend
desire at its root.
