The Buddha tells us about the ‘footprints’ which lead us to the ultimate truth, that until we reach the real destination, we must not totally believe in the ‘footprints’. https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN27.html

In this discourse, the Buddha talks of two kinds of ‘searches’: ignoble and noble. Also, he mentions his own spiritual journey and speaks of the drawbacks of falling for the strings of sensuality. https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN26.html
