Social Gathekas8. The Path of InitiationIn the Persian language, it is called the work of the Baz, the wayfarer of the heavens. In this mystical path, courage, steadiness, and patience are the most necessary things, but besides this, trust in the teacher in whose hand initiation is taken and understanding of the idea of discipline. In the East, where for thousands of years the path of discipleship has been understood, these things are regarded as most important and as acceptable from the hand of the teacher; to that extent they understand discipline and trust in the teacher. |
