Diksha is an ongoing process. It doesn’t take place simply at the front of the fire. It is a continual process of watering that seed which is planted. There must be a continuation of knowledge because when continuation of knowledge is openly reveled, within the heart, then that natural spontaneous desire to continue to render service to the Lord also remains awaken within the heart. Therefore devotional service gradually becomes awakened.
