In response to a question about Meditation:
To answer your question, the Masters sometimes give people introductory meditation instructions to prepare them: repeating Names of God and getting used to the idea of seeing inner Light. The real secrets of spiritual practice come at the time of initiation: the Five Names, Lights, Sounds, and inner Planes. Five seems to be holy number in Sant Mat: 5 Names, 5 Lights, 5 Sounds, and Five Khands or inner regions that the Surat (Soul) passes through on it's journey to back to God.
Anyone who is being drawn to the Path of the Masters is already under the protection and guidance of the Master-Power.
As I look back, even before I ever heard of Sant Mat I know that I was being prepared for it. When I was very small I remember seeing inner Light. Often the Light would come. Course I didn't have any metaphysical terms for it then! I couldn't verbalize it even to myself much less other people, I just knew that if I concentrated in a certain way, the Light would come.
After I got initated this Other World of Light and Sound really opened up. Initiation is wonderful. It clears up the mysteries, then we can dive in and do our spiritual practice, it's just a matter of doing it, meditating every day.
Radhasoami and Peace,
James
