-{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=, a Tantric is called, a sádhaka is called, a soldier. [Sádhanásamara] [“the battle of sádhaná”]. Samara means “war”, “battle”, “fight”. The sádhaka is engaged in fight. It is for the brave, it is for courageous people. Sádhanásamara. And this cult is the cult of Tantra. He who wants to keep himself away from fight is unknowingly committing suicide, mental and spiritual suicide. Each and every man should be ready for fight – fight in the mental stratum, fight in the family stratum, fight in each and every stratum of life. This is Tantra.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
+{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=In ancient times there were two recognized stages in the process of initiation. The first one was Vaedikii diikśá, that is, initiation as per the Vaedik [Vedic] school of thought, and the second one was Tántrikii diikśá, that is, initiation as per Tantra. The most important mantra in Vaedikii diikśá was the “Gáyattrii Mantra”. The spirit of Vaedikii diikśá was to pray to God to get the proper path, the path of bliss; and the spirit of Tántrikii diikśá was to move along that path. In the first phase the aspirant requested God to show the path, and in the second phase the sádhaka had to move along that path.(1) And this “Gáyattrii Mantra” was the most important mantra in Vaedikii diikśá.|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
-Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that the Supreme Entity lies hidden within our inner "I" feeling like oil in sesame. [[Sadhana]] is the practice through which the mind becomes pure and subtle so that the Supreme within is revealed. Anandamurti then says that [[Parama Purusa]] is so big that He is beyond the scope of measurement and so tiny that one cannot perceive Him with one's eyes. Anandamurti goes on explaining that if one thinks the Supreme Entity to be far away, then He is even further away; and if one thinks Him to be near, then He is nearer than the nearest. He lies hidden within, and we are to search for Him in our meditation.<ref name="AV34"/>
+Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that in the Vaedic initiation the spiritual aspirant asks the Lord to show him/her the proper path. Anandamurti then explains that Gayattrii is a rhythm and not a mantra. The three requirements in the composition of a Gayattrii Mantra were: rhythm of three lines and eight syllables, addressing a particular name of God and that it is composed by a Seer. Anandamurti goes on explaining a particular Mantra of a Gyattrii rhythm: Tat Savitur vareńyam; / Bhargo devasya dhiimahi dhiyo yo nah pracodayát. Oṋḿ bhúr bhuvah svah oṋḿ.<ref name="AV34"/>
