MEANING OF INITIATION:
"The practice through which capability of a person increases is known as Initiation."
Ref. [Diprakshi, vol.3, page 207]
*************** **********
We know that we have been born with a tendency towards unification, i.e. an inherent attachment. We shall be shaped according to the object in which we place our attachment. “The water of Swati-star produces effect according tothe receptacle.”
“The being is full of regard, and a
man is what his object of regard is.” (Gita) If we can wholly
concentrate our love on the Ideal with unrepelling active adherence, we
have nothing to worry about. Then Dharma, wealth, fulfillment of desire
and liberation will be at our disposal. We shall find fulfillment by
achieving all-round worldly and other-worldly welfare.
In order to concentrate our entire love on the Ideal, we have to practice everyday some scientific processes. To learn these processes with all regardfulness is to be initiated. After initiation we have to observe these things daily with due adherence. This will develop our love for the Ideal from day to day. In a word, our character will be tinged according to His characteristics .
Ref. [An Integral Philosophy of Life]

Question: Is it a must to take initiation?
Thakur: There are various complexes and passions present in us. The more these complexes increases, the more endangered becomes our existence. By taking and practising initiation, the road towards the uphold of existence opens.
Ref [Alochana Prasange, Alochana, Poush, 1396]
*************** **********
Question: What if the Holy Name is practised without taking initiation?
Thakur: The action of The Holy name is there. But, by taking initiation we come to know the correct procedure of repetition of Holy Name. The main point is to be concentric. Without being concentric, nothing is possible.Everything becomes a mess. And to be concentric, accepting Guru is a must.
