If the intellectual and realistic attitude is not developed previously to coming into the mystical life, it will have to be developed afterwards.

Without it the seeker will be lost at times--through emotion, whim, theory, auto-suggestion, or prejudice--in baseless fantasies, irresponsible vacillations, and fanciful experiences.
