Whoever enters into this perfect peace must emerge from it again in the end. When he returns to his fellow men he will find it hard--if he is a novice--to keep silent about his wonderful experience, but easy if he is a proficient.

For the one is concerned with his own experience whereas the other is concerned with whether his fellows are ready to leap so high.
