Generally there are two kinds of seekers.

• There is one kind who is curious, who wonders if there is anything or not; if it is really true that there is a soul and a hereafter. They look for some phenomenon in order to try and prove it. They use psychometry, palmistry, clairvoyance, and all such different means. There may be hundreds and thousands wandering about in delusion looking for phenomena.
• And there may be another one who is perhaps more intellectual, who reads books on occult science, often because he has seen them recommended in the newspapers, and in the end he will surely become more and more confused. Is this the way of learning? Is it not enough that from childhood one has to learn in school? And after having read all those books, all that there is to be read, at what does one arrive? At confusion. One does not know which is false and which is true.
