| | Diksha -The Power to Penetrate Within (Part 1) |
 | | The Sanskrit word diksha comes from the root diksh, which means 'to dedicate oneself, and is actually derived from a combination of two roots, diks, which means 'to consecrate' or 'dedicate', and daks, which means 'to grow', 'to become strong' or 'to expand'. |
 | | Diksha also means 'to see', and when one takes diksha one receives the power by which one can begin to 'see' the goal or path of inner life. |
 | | Diksha is like turning the key to ignite the car, but unless the disciple is strong, powerful and firmly committed to his guru and his goal, the car will not move. |
