Many times, people react against the idea of learning in the moment. They try to step out of this scientific or experience-based approach to mind. Instead, they are looking for immediate results, which is the approach of blind faith. This is something that we have to watch for in ourselves. When people begin their spiritual journey and their whole involvement with the path, the approach is always scientific, whether we are aware of that or not, in the sense that our journey has to be based on personal investigation of some kind.
