In addition to performing your task, your cheerfulness, common
sense, and attitude are studied by the Master. As you do your part faithfully and
competently, the Master is pleased to go to the Lord prayerfully in your behalf.
When all continues
well with you for a time, the Master will accept you as his own dear devotee. He accepts
you unconditionally and forever — beyond time. Your period of asking is fulfilled.
It’s a wondrous day for Initiate and Master.
Your beloved Master then states a specific, auspicious time when he will initiate you.
The devotee is initiated personally, in almost every case.
During your period of asking, and between the time of acceptance and initiation, the
Master studies you further. He determines and selects the best possible spiritual
practices for your needs and your nature. He chooses practices which will most
felicitously speed you toward higher consciousness and God-realization.
