' Become, what you know '...

"Someone may ask: What is the state of the person who follows the true Light to the best of his ability"?

I must tell you frankly that it can never be described.

For he who not on the path is unable to put it into words.

And he who is on the path and knows is equally unable to voice it.

Whoever wants to know must wait until he becomes what he knows."
