In the battlefield, the commander asks, ‘march forward!’, The soldier starts. He may die. Surely he may die. Some become scared, some don’t care, some become cautious. But one who goes and faces the enemy and carries out the order, he will get the ‘Gold Medal’. You can or cannot, you like or don’t like, you must got to do it! If you want to be successful, you must follow the orders of Guru.
Without sadhana, without having unflinching faith in the words of sad-guru, without being disciplined, without being trained one cannot carry out the orders of the Guru.
Rupa Goswami wrote a book called Upadeshamrita to instruct us. I request you to take this book and follow its instructions very seriously.
Initiation is a kind of registration.The main thing is how sincere, serious, dedicated and honest you are. If you are committed to Sri Guru & Vaishnavas, then you will surely progress in spiritual life.
