At the commencement of the meditation session, all sadhakas shall assume a posture of cross-legged position, totally relax the body and mind to remove the tension, and with folded hands, recite the following aphorisms:
- I dedicate myself to the practice of Preksa-Dhyana.
- I initiate myself into the path of Spiritual Practice.
- I initiate myself into the practice of Internal Perception.
- I initiate myself into the practice of Spiritual Experience.
Thus the sadhakas initiate themselves into the practice of preksa-dhyana.
