CANDIDATE. (greets.) Will you take me as your Chela, Guru? I have heard of you from my friend, who said many good things about you. I have read much about these things and I have talked with many occultists. I think I am quite ready to take the spiritual path, don't you think so? I am sure you will not have much difficulty with me, because I am mature. Do you really think there is a soul or a hereafter?
