It is better to have two heads than one

The function of the mind is studied in analysis

and all the various mental functions have to be

studied, and it requires time. It is a long process

of analysis undertaken leisurely. You need a guide

for this, because you are studying yourself, and,

therefore, will be prone to justifications of your own

way of thinking. You hold an opinion, because you

are sure that it is right. But it may not be so in the

final analysis which we have undertaken. Therefore,

a personal guide is needed, because it is better to

have two heads than one. Specially in the advanced

states of meditation, you need the guidance of a

competent person.
