Darshan and Deeksha
This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.
Symbolically speaking, darshan is the moment when you 'see' the Divine,
and deeksha is the moment when the Divine 'sees' you!
For the perfectly prepared and completely open being,
darshan itself can be the moment of initiation.
But in general, darshan is a preparation for deeksha.
Darshan is like ploughing the soil, deeksha is like planting the seed.
Darshan makes you liquid and receptive.
It helps you connect deeply to the vibration of the master
and prepare yourself to receive his energy.
The longer you spend in darshan, the more finely tuned you become,
so that at the moment of deeksha,
you will be completely open and ready to receive.
