I don't see that in the quote. It sounds to me like a justification for imposing religious thought-boundaries.

Wikipedia says: "The Teachers of Gurdjieff (ISBN 0-87728-213-7) is a book by Rafael Lefort that purports to describe a journey to the middle east and central Asia in search of the sources of Gurdjieff's teaching, and culminates in the author's own spiritual awakening, by meeting and "opening" to the teachings of the Naqshbandi Sufis."

Do you see that in the quote? Or only in the frame?

I'm not able to interpret the quote without fitting it into some pre-existing frame.
