Experience shows that many seekers take up the position that they have been led by God to meet their "master" or "teaching" and that it is useless to reason or even expostulate with them. They know, and all one's longer years of wider experience count as nothing against their dangerous emotionality or conceited ignorance or misplaced stubbornness or open egotism. The dementia of the so-called master and the falsity of the supposedly inspired teaching will be able to reveal themselves only by the melancholy consequences of following them.
