The circumstance which prevents you and those in your state from achieving your goal after . . . long hours of study and protracted meditation in collating your knowledge and increasing its scope, is your inclination towards indirect sophistical interpretation and your predilection for worldly standards of which you yourself are unaware. Now there are many types of those devoted to indirect interpretation.� There is the type who is aware of his own failings and recognizes his hidden fallibilities, but nonetheless continues to interpret indirectly; [such a person relies] on fallible knowledge and from time to time forgets the inherent weakness in his method of deducing knowledge. There is also the type that favors indirect interpretation with the objective of clear and proven truth in his deduction. But in this process he cannot escape his own unwitting prejudice, which must influence him in his aim. As a result, he has an overweening trust in the conclusions which he achieves and relies on them exclusively . . . [Such] people are they who have based their guidance on the exposition of men whose counsel though sincere is wanting, men whose fate it is not to light on the ultimate truth which they seek.
