-{{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 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 are: a 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 Gayattrii rhythm: Tat Savitur vareńyam; / Bhargo devasya dhiimahi dhiyo yo nah pracodayát. Oṋḿ bhúr bhuvah svah oṋḿ.<ref name="AV34"/>

+[A spiritual aspirant burns the ropes of his páshas (fetters, bondages) by using his body as the arańi (lower piece of wood) and mantra as the uttarárańi (upper piece of wood – the two pieces are rubbed together). An aspirant churns spiritual and mundane knowledge to separate the spiritual from the mundane (as churning separates butter from buttermilk).]|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}
+Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that a spiritual aspirant should use his body as a big piece of wood and his mantra as a smaller piece of wood used in creating fire by friction.  in the Vaedic initiation the spiritual aspirant asks the Lord to show him/her the proper path. Anandamurti then elaborates on this metaphor and explains that every entity has its own unique rhythm and when coming in contact with the incantative rhythm os His mantra, he will finally reach the Supreme abode termed self realization. Anandamurti goes on explaining that through this friction described above, the mind becomes purified and a person realizes that He is Brahma. Such a man is called a Pandita.<ref name="AV34"/>
