I once read a very good comment about Surah Fateha: "The never ending Begining"
No doubt each and every verse of Quran has to offer countless dimensions but Surah Fateha is really special, and really does seem 'never ending'. The verse 6:
"Keep us on the right path"

talks about a 'path' and not an ultimate 'goal', 'objective' or 'destination'. Because i feel that as long as we are alive there can be no perfect state which can be termed as the ultimate goal in fact its like path, which requires us to make decisions each day each moment. So 'Hidayat' seems like a part of the process rather than the start or end of the process! So Allah wants us to constantly seek hidayat from him in the form of this Surah, because we actually need it. We need to be conscious about each and every step because one wrong step could open up the wrong path for us, that path might present temptations. So it would be fairly easier to think before taking the step rather than trying to step back because we might or might not step back! Similarly one right step could change our life! could put us on the right path for a while at least until we encounter the next crossroad! This further proves that there cant be a 'goal' or 'destination' that is why this dua is repeatedly recited in every namaz every rakk'at. SubhanAllah!
