"If in accordance with the plan I have sketched, you follow rules which are just the opposite of the established practice, if instead of taking your scholar far afield, instead of wandering with him in distant places, in far-off lands, in remote centuries, in the ends of the earth, and in the very heavens themselves, you try to keep him to himself, to his own concerns, you will then find him able to perceive, to remember, and even to reason this in nature's order."

What is that from. It may help if there was more to go on. After reading it a few times I pretty much got you should stay gounded. Don't escape into false reality's. Not exactly sure, I'm since I have no clue as to who "he" is, it makes it really difficult to understand.

It means basically if you go in accordance to natures order itself instead of against it then you will be able to percieve natures order in its entirity.
