Mystical travelers are divided into three categories according to their weaknesses and strengths. The first group is those who pass the esoteric path. An internal window opens to them, but when obstructive factors conspire against them they turn away from their spiritual self and remain spiritually stagnant.
In the opinion of God, the spiritual state of these travelers is worse than that of those who are never even acquainted with this way.
The second category consists of those who are examined with giving miraculous powers, and unveiling of inspiration. They get involved with them, however, neglect the ultimate purpose, which is the knowledge of God.
The third category is about mystical travelers who are constantly moving from the lowest to the highest levels in their journey while training with a perfect master.
