The writer suggests that the individual seeker should take his own soul--his higher self--as his guide. By prayer and meditation, he may attain glimpses of it occasionally and receive the needed guidance. This is safer than tying himself to any institution or a so-called master. If he can put as much faith in the existence and power of his soul as most seekers put into their blind following of these masters, his efforts should prove sufficiently effective. (In this connection, the reader should read the last two pages of the first section of Chapter 15 in my book, The Wisdom of the Overself.)
