The person who has undergone little preparation or purification before feeling the mystic's peace in some unexpected experience does not feel what the person who has had both his preparation and purification feels. In the first case it is an unbalanced peace, whereas in the second case it is a balanced peace. This is one reason why it vanishes after a time in the first case and why the complementary work of the Long Path is needed.
