74. EXACT METHODS OF DEVOTIONAL PRACTICES CONFIDENTIAL

            112. Our explanations of the three methods of devotion referred to indicate the principles of the practice and the results achieved by its performance. The exact methods for the performance of those practices constitute the confidential portion of the religion revealed by the gracious Radhasoami. They are explained at the time of initiation which, however, consists of the explanation of the methods alone and is not accompanied by any rituals or any other secondary adjuncts. The person initiated is, however, given clearly to understand that he, as a gentleman, is under a solemn obligation not to reveal the methods of the practices referred to. No oaths are, however, taken, as a person who cannot stick to a solemn promise made by him is wanting in honour, and oaths are equally ineffectual in his case.
