What the initiator gives as an instruction, as an exercise, must be taken just like the prescription of the doctor. And if one says, "No, I will not do it today, I am tired now and I do not know how it can do me any good," one's mind is not in the right place. One should not have taken the trouble of going to the initiator and having given him the trouble. And if a person does the practices and has no faith in them, nor in the initiator, then he will not receive benefit just the same.
