To those Seeking Holy Initiation

T.S Khanna

All seekers are encouraged to make searching enquiries to the science of Sant Mat before they are initiated. They are invited to probe as deeply as they wish, and to compare it with all other religious movements and yogic systems until they are fully satisfied in their minds that the path of the Master and the spiritual work enjoined by the Great Master Kirpal Singh holds the greatest promise and can receive their full devotions once they are initiated.

To let this probing search of the path go undone until after initiation means that one is likely to be plagued with doubts and divisions in his mind. So such a person should not expect higher spiritual experience immediately upon initiation. One has to grow under the grace of the Master. If he or she gives his love and affection to the living Master, all obstacles will run away and the Light will shine. Some drawbacks lie within us, and we should try to remove them step by step, using the self-introspection diaries.

Some of us may encounter opposing persons who criticize the Master and his teachings. Once a seeker fully satisfied his own mind, then he can just ignore such people; and if he does not, it will just stand in the way of his own spiritual progress. We should remember that truth has always been opposed throughout his history. Certainly we see it was so in the time of Lord Jesus Christ. 

When an elephant walks, so many dogs starts barking. But the elephant never cares. When it comes near to the dogs, they will run away. The stronger the truth, the stronger the opposition. The stronger the opposition, the stronger we grow. A man who has a hand firmly on truth is a giants. 

We should be prepared to stand llike rock in the ocean, unaffected by waves and storms. The man with weavering doubts on his mind cannot do this. To take up the path of the Master's at the time of initiation is entering upon a scintifis experiment. He is to prove the theory, as taught by the Master's, that if the seeker will “create in the laboratory of the body the conditions that are prerequisite, then as surely as the day follows the night shall he rise inot the Kingdom of God.”(kirpal Singh) so it does not behoove and initiates to leave a side the hypothieses in the middle of the experiment. Only the disciple who has answered his intellectual questions before initiation can boldly proceed in this expremental science within. 

However, if with all this, an initiates for any reason deciedes he can get liberations in some other way, without the help of the living Master of the time, then the Master will not prevent him or hold him back. And if such a person feels like returning again to the great Master Kirpal Singh, he can do so with the confidence that the Master will accept him in all humility like a loving Father.

If we worship the living satguru or true Master of the time, then we are worshipping all the past and future Master's, and we worship also God, definitely. What elese can we want? It is a pearl of great price, which even the incornation and angels are craving. No body should think that he or she got initiation because he is worthy. It is only the deep compassion of the Master, that he will ignore all a past sins and grant initiation, acting under direction of the supreme Father as always. This will enable us to reach our home sooner or later. The Master's love for the innates is more than the love of thaousands of mothers and fathers together. The loving Power is always working over the innates head, giving all feasible help, guidance and protection.
