Selections from ‘Spiritual Elixir’

Question: If the Master happens to leave the physical plane after initiating the disciple, will the initiation remain valid for the rest of the latter’s lifetime?

Answer: Yes, the Holy Initiation when granted by a competent Living Master remains perfectly valid for all time not only on the earth plane but even into the Beyond.

Question: Is it not necessary for the initiates of the Master to receive further initiation from the next Living Master from whom they have to seek Satsang benefits?

Answer: No, it is not at all necessary to have re-initiation after the passing away of the Master who originally initiated an individual. It is His sole responsibility to lead the soul once initiated by Him back to the Home of His Father. For any further guidance or for Sarsang purposes he will enjoy the company of the Master following Him on earth plane.

Question: Can an ascended Master help His initiates who are still on the physical plane?

Answer: Yes, a Competent Master is a Master to His initiates for all time, and does not rest till He takes the souls to the highest pinnacle of blissful glory in Sach Khand. He is not a physical being only but Word personified, and on the higher planes acts as a Guru Dev and Satguru, which terms would become meaningless if His activities were to be confined to the physical plane. If it were so, how could He take charge of the souls of the initiates on death after His passing away? A Master in essence never dies for the initiates. It is His troth to take them up to the True Home of His Father, and inwardly His Light and Sound forms are permanently implanted though He may have left the earth plane.
