This Esoteric Wisdom is unfit and dangerous to the human mind, and liable to misinterpretation, if revealed to vulgar and unpurified spirits. Hence the Initiates devised an outer system ( Church,Temple et ), efficient but imperfect, for the profane. SECRETLY instructed followers to reveal only to the elect and hide it from the profane – Aurobindo, the Secret of the Veda

Hide, the Holy Krishna saith,
This  from him that hath no faith,
Him that worships not, nor seeks,
Wisdom's Teachings when She speaks

Hide it from all men who mock
But wherever amidst the flock, 
Of My lovers one shall teach
This divinest wisest speech

Consecrating all to me
Truth to them and offering,
Of all honor unto Me,
Unto Brahma cometh he !

- Sir Edwin Arnold, the Song Celestial
