1. The test of actual initiation

    That is the test that whether you are actually initiated. If you are still attached to these… Bhaktih paresanubhavo viraktih… If you are not detestful to all these nonsense habits, then you must know that you are not making any progress. You are not making any progress. Because this is the result: anartha-nivrttih syat. If you are actually making advancement in bhajana-kriya, then these attachments will be finished. No more.
