The Mystic:"The state of hallucination is a temporary one. A person should learn to control his mind. What comes after such mental discipline is mystic experience. What appear in the uncontrolled state of mind are hallucinations. These are caused by the wishes and fears of the ego. The mystic's mind is a blank, his experience is shapeless and without object."-The Sage of Kanchi in answer to a question by Arthur Koestler.
