From Gita
Challenge for Discipleship Series
Challenge for Discipleship – Part I
“There are many definitions of what a disciple is, but the most appropriate definition is that a disciple is an efficient person. To be efficient means to have command of one’s mechanism and of life in general, at an increasing pace.“
Gita Saraydarian reads the “A Few Words” section from the Challenge for Discipleship by Torkom Saraydarian. She highlights the concept of discipleship as a path to efficiency and personal growth.
The session includes a beautiful meditation taken from “Wisdom of the Zodiac“, Vol. 4, Chapter 31, ‘Aquarius Conscious Change.’

Challenge for Discipleship – Part II
“A disciple is someone who is consciously constructing his life every minute, using only the highest quality materials. The disciple never uses anything for his building that is going to cause him trouble in the future.”
In this session Gita continues reading from Challenge for Discipleship, Chapter 11, titled ‘The Disciple As A Building Engineer.’ She discusses how discipleship parallels the meticulous work of a building engineer. She concludes the session with a beautiful guided meditation.

Challenge for Discipleship – Part IV
“The Ageless Wisdom teaches that love and joy are two great Cosmic Lives which are related to each other. Together They nourish all lives in the Cosmic Space…”
“Disciples have an inner fountain of joy and love which streams forth into their lives and nourishes people around them.”
In this inspiring reading and meditation session, Gita Saraydarian continues reading from Challenge for Discipleship by Torkom Saraydarian, Chapter 31, titled “How a Disciple can Bring more Love and Joy to People.”
Gita begins the session by reflecting on the essence of being a disciple – someone committed to living a principled and empathic life. She emphasizes that bringing love and joy to life is crucial, not merely as sentiments but as Cosmic energies that help the formation of our Soul, our identity.
Gita concludes the session with a visualization exercise, drawing from the practical steps for increasing love and joy outlined on pages 246 and 247 of the same chapter.
