Allan Kardec. The book of spirits (№ 395895)

Question: Can the spirit make a mistake in the validity of selected tests?
Answer: It can choose the test, exceeding his powers, and then he will fall under its weight; it can also choose and that won't do him any good, as if he was looking for the idle and fruitless way of life; but, returning to the spirit world, he notices that nothing is achieved, and then he requests the opportunity to make up for lost time.
