---

The service of a guide is helpful to beginners to direct their way, to point out where it lies, and--if the guide is inspired, if the students are sufficiently receptive, if their personal karma is favourable, and if the World-Mind uses the guide for the purpose--to give them the important experience of a Glimpse. Beyond this the guide cannot go, despite all the gross exaggerations which surround this subject in most Oriental circles and which, if believed and followed, actually keep aspirants back from making real rather than fictitious advance. They themselves must do the travelling.
