Guest guest Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 Verse 122, Part III When an intensity of that feeling is in you, you will get the initiation. Intensity doesn't mean asking for initiation intensely, but making the necessary effort for that. In other words, there should be intensive practice. If it is not there, neither can He give you knowledge nor can you take it even if given. Conclusively, on the strength of the relation between the Guru and the disciple, through its repeated thinking, you should always practice intensively. As you go on doing that with the grace of the Guru, the distinction between the Guru and the disciple goes and a state of non-difference arises merging the two into one. That is initiation. With the attainment of non-difference, the initiator, the initiated, and initiation do not exist. This strange quality of Guru is described in the GURU GITA. Swamiji calls upon all to think of all things in this book. How long? As you go thinking on it, a state of non-thinking should develop in your mind. Till such time thinking should go on. Cessation of thought is the ultimate goal. In that state nothing remains to think about. It means that the two have become one. This is not the initation given orally. That state is inexplicable.
