There shall be many doubters. Let them doubt, for their doubts too will lead them. If you go mountaineering, the experienced mountaineer goes ahead of you.

I don’t want followers!
I have found that those who are skeptical become the most ardent followers. Not followers of me—I don’t want followers!—but followers of truth.
