I'm in the process of reading this book, and I got to page 7 where it says:

"The real warning is this: don't go any further if you want to stay where you are. It is a very dangerous thing to undertake a spiritual journey if you have no intention of ever getting anywhere."

Can someone who has read this book or knows anything on the subject explain this to me?

Dangerous how? What qualifies as "getting somewhere" ?
