[Smt. Chhanda asked: What is deeksha: “is it performing conventional rituals or is it identifying the contemporary human incarnation and thereby following Him as Sadguru? Once the devotee has identified and accepted the Sadguru, will He not guide the devotee in the same way as that of the one who has performed rituals? Is there any difference in these two cases? Or is there anything more in this? Please enlighten me on this part in a detail way. At Your divine lotus feet, Chhanda.]
Swami replied: - Ritual means worship of God. God in human form of medium is the most relevant to humanity. There is no place for anything other than the God for a devotee, who wants to perform all the rituals in a perfect way. I think that you have understood the essence.
