It is sadly human to want to digress from the straight path of the Quest at times. This happens to many and a proportion of them yields to the desire. Invariably, however, the passing years bring them back to either the leaving point or even the starting point. Experience always points up the lesson that the initial urge faith conviction or reasoning which put them on the path was a wise and necessary one. The picture of life grows a little clearer to them when they learn at first hand with sorrow, loss, or frustration what the teachers offered free without such unpleasant consequences.
