Now coming to even more important work, that on which the strength of our whole Movement depends. That is the esoteric work in which anybody is received by the initiation. It is not in the ordinary word of initiation. It is a word, there is no word to interpret, Bayat we call it. Initiation is a trust. When the pupil says, "I give you my trust, that whatever you give me I am sure I shall be benefitted," the teacher says, "All I shall give to you, you will keep as your sacred trust." That is the teacher's trust. When the trust is given from both sides, that is an initiation.

What is attained by the initiation? One is to acquaint oneself with the deeper side of life. What is the deeper side of life? The education, whatever it is, not completed as long as one is keeping to the outer side of life, and not yet entered into the deeper side of life.
