The narrow way is found sandwiched between the golden rule to do unto others as you would have them do unto you and being aware of false prophets based on their fruit.
The reason few find the narrow way is that there are few who are faithful to the Lord concerning loving your neighbor as yourself, and of those who do desire to follow the lord many will be deceived by a false prophet.
