It is often exceedingly difficult, well-nigh impossible to
distinguish between true guidance and psychic phenomena. Through the power of
concentration, prayer and meditation and the effects produced one can, however,
feel the direct spiritual guidance of God. Purity of heart is an indispensable
condition.
