"Having read a few esoteric books, some people believe themselves capable of taking on the role of a spiritual master. And others, who are naïve, follow them with their eyes closed, instead of studying them a while to see how they conduct themselves. They do not ask themselves where they come from, how they lived their life previously, who was their master or who sent them. No, there is no point in asking such questions. All it takes is for someone to come along and put on some act and tell them that they will be initiated within three days - having first parted with a considerable sum of money of course - and they believe them. They are in a hurry, you see, the initiation must not take longer than three days, which is why the first charlatan or crook who comes along to take advantage of their gullibility is welcomed with open arms, because they will give them initiation. Well, if they closed their eyes they were obviously set on being cheated, and therefore should not complain."
