"When the detached wayfarer and sincere seeker hath fulfilled these essential conditions, then and only then can he be called a true seeker."

 

Itten

"These are among the attributes of the exalted, and constitute the hallmark of the spiritually minded. They have already been mentioned in connection with the requirements of the wayfarers that tread the Path of Positive Knowledge. When the detached wayfarer and sincere seeker hath fulfilled these essential conditions, then and only then can he be called a true seeker. Whensoever he hath fulfilled the conditions implied in the verse: “Whoso maketh efforts for Us,”¹⁵¹ he shall enjoy the blessing conferred by the words: “In Our ways shall We assuredly guide him.”^152"
