IMPORTANCE OF ANUSTHAN ( COMMENCEMENT OF AN UNDERTAKING, અનુષ્ઠાન ) (2)

After this process of anusthan, the saint begins to enter in the life of sadhak. One can not receive the full and complete bebefit from the saint without this happening. One can not learn the art of business without staying in one definite business. Spirituality is similar in that particular aspect. The owner of the business sometimes sends the novice to somebody else, to learn the finer aspects of business and gain some experience. At the same time he controls the change and also discusses strong and weak points of the novice, secretely with the other owner. He also disusses the kind of experience he needs to gain. Extraordinary benefit is gained only by the people, close to the owner. Anusthan is the process of developing this kind of personel closeness about one's life with the saint. Sadhak's development progreses at a faster pace, as he develops this personel closeness. One can not get this benefit without the initiation of the proces of anusthan. Saint enters one's being ( as a result of anusthan )  and gets the opportunity to study one's nature, temperament, lower tendencies, fate and obstacles. He never enters and studies without any reason and also does not care to do so. At the same time, it is also true that he does not care about the fitness of the sadhak, if sadhak wants to undergo process of anusthan because of some mysterious past associtions with him. For the saint the development of sadhak is by and for himself ( saint ), as he sees himself one with the sadhak.
