Therefore the seekers after the truth of life, the students of life, strike two opposite paths.

• The one wishes to learn from the external appearance,
• the other wishes to find out the secret which is hidden behind it.
• The one who learns from the external gets the knowledge of the external, which we call science.
• The one who finds out from the within, from that which is hidden within this manifestation - he is the mystic; the knowledge he gains is mysticism.
