“The question of Guidance is a very subtle one. We cannot
be positive that an impulse or a dream is guidance. We can
seek, through earnest prayer and longing, sincerely to do God’s
will, His guidance. We can try, as you say, to emulate the
Master and at all times live up to the teachings, but we cannot
be sure that doing these things we are still making no mistakes
and are perfectly guided. These things help us not to make so
many mistakes and to receive more directly the guidance God
seeks to give us.”
