“By initiation, it is meant that a Sufi prepares himself here on earth to be capable of appreciating the spiritual souls, and unites with them in the kinship of initiation on the Path, which may keep him connected with the caravan which is continually journeying toward the goal.” —Hazrat Inayat Khan
