INITIATION OF ELITES THE NEED OF THE HOUR ===============­===============­=== MEANING OF INITIATION: "The practice through which capability of a person increases is known as Initiation." Ref. [Diprakshi, vol. 3, page 207] INITIATE THE ELITES! "You people should work in such a manner that the elites of higher level and higher calibre get initiated and self-willingly get engaged in the propitious service towards the Ideal and the environment. You are initiating only those people who are mentally at a lower plane than you. Often, you initiate the men who are at a lower level than you because in this way, you are getting their admiration very easily. No mental toil is required in this case. You may become very happy by initiating a weak-minded man by telling him some illogical miraculous story. But the conviction which is required and sprouts up to initiate a superior type man is missing in this case (of initiating a weak minded man). That is the reason that you people are not growing." [Alochana Prasange,Vol.6,p.5,4th ed.] "Of course I am not saying to stop the mass-initiationprocess. That, you should do but 'mass' and 'class' are like two wings of the movement. If the balance gets disturbed, the whole progress of the movement shall be affected." [Alochana Prasange, Vol.6,p.6,4th ed] Question: Is it a must to take initiation? Thakur: There are various complexes and passions present in us. The more these complexes increases, the more endangered becomes our existence. By taking and practising initiation, the road towards the uphold of existence opens up. Ref [Alochana Prasange, Alochana, Poush, 1396]
