The spiritual guide should also take precaution that she will not fall madly in love with him. As such their training is very difficult. That is just the reason that Nature has not given them (women) share in these matters beyond what may be necessary.

The particles of thought introduced into the system or organism should have the capability to that extent. It will be better to introduce atoms of high potency so that these do not get themselves deformed through the absorption of deformities or obstructive elements. It will be still better that either those particles be strengthened from
