Balananda's Initiation

The Day Of His Initiation, Balananda Said To His Master, “Today You Are Going To Initiate Me. On The One Hand, I Am So Happy And Delighted That Out Of Your Infinite Kindness You Are Going To Initiate Me. On The Other Hand, I Feel Extremely Sorry That I Don’t Have Anything To Offer You In Return. I Am So Poor.”

The Master, Brahmananda, Said To His Dearest Disciple, “My Son, You Should Not Think Of That. I Do Not Need Any Material Wealth Or Earthly Possessions. I Need Only One Thing From You And That Is Your God-Realisation. One Day You Will Definitely Realise God, And Your God-Realisation Itself Will Be My Best Reward. I Am Initiating You With My Heart’s Infinite Love And Concern. I Shall Guide You At Every Moment In Your Spiritual Journey.

“God-Realisation For You Is Destined In This Incarnation And Today’s Initiation Is Going To Expedite Your Journey. I Am Extremely Glad To Have Found In You A True Disciple, A Perfect Disciple. Today I Want To Tell You Not To Worry About Anything. You Do Not Have To Give Anything To Me Now. Your God-Realisation At God’s Choice Hour In This Incarnation Will Be The Supreme Reward Which I Shall Receive From You.”
