Grace is the giver...

The quester who stops somewhere on the way, either dismayed by his own transgressions or exhausted by the paucity of results, is excusably human.

The sooner he gets back to the herd the better for his comfort.

The fact is that no results can be promised: all results are only probable.

If he expects to obtain a mystical experience,

he must not forget that Grace is the giver of it, not his own efforts.
