Initiation contains several degrees. It is the trust that the teacher gives you, but the real initiation is the work of God. No teacher can nor will judge. The pupil is one whom the teacher likes to trust; all are welcome to the teacher. The teacher is spiritually Father and Mother to the pupil. The life of the teacher is often a sacrifice; he or she is persecuted and has many sufferings. What little help the teacher can give, he or she will give.
