"People don't fail in their cosmic quest because they lack
intelligence. The reason for failure can be illustrated by
a case: A man living in an uncomfortable hut is told he has
inherited a mansion, but, if he refuses to leave his hut, he
cannot occupy his new home. He may insist on a guarantee that
the mansion actually exists, but his only guarantee is to see
and occupy the mansion for himself. "
The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power, Chap. 14, p. 229
