“Sometimes when we have a spiritual experience, we might have the perception of withdrawing from the physical body and going very high up. Very far away from this body and this physical reality. Or we may feel like going very deep into a very powerful something. The Divine Power manifests in so many ways. In whichever way it comes, it’s always beautiful: an extraordinary experience of an incredible Power.”

“You’re like floating on the surface, and being aware only of the surface, but underneath there is a bottomless Reality. It’s like falling in a well, which has no bottom, and you keep falling and falling, or raising and raising.”

“Those who keep treating the Path, in their life, at the time of death, they have an excellent time, an extraordinary time, in which this wedding with the Almighty, with the Infinite happens. And we just dive into an ocean of Love and become Love itself.”

“Once you are on the Path, don’t keep wondering, where am I standing.. where am I going? Will I succeed? You just keep treating the Path, doing the practice you were taught at initiation, and just don’t worry, the destination will come to you by itself.”

“How do we become filled with spirituality, with the Light of God? By bowing our heads at the feet of the Satguru, by looking into His eyes. His eyes are the tap from which the Light of God is poured into us, transmitted to us. This way, from human beings, we become Divine beings. That’s how the transmission of spirituality happens, mainly through the eyes.”

“When you love the Master so much, you belong to the Master and the Master belongs to you. This is the condition, that state of mind, that each one of us should achieve in this life, on this Path. The condition in which you feel that you belong completely to the Master, and the Master belongs completely to you. And how do you belong completely to the Master? By giving your whole life to Him, to His cause, to His mission, to His teachings. It becomes something that is very much felt and actualized in our life. It’s not by words. It must be by facts.”

“The living Satguru is a phenomenon always present on Earth—there is at least one or more than one.”

“The peculiarity of the Path is that we give a face to this Supreme Being, to this impersonal being, to this Immense Reality, that is the cause of all existence.”

“Yes, I will continue to focus my glance, so as to open the horizon. This horizon is the third Eye, that’s what we have to open in order to get a glimpse of the intoxicating Divine Light.”

“The Master says: “Wake up, man!” It means you’re sleeping. You are sleeping in your own conviction, in your own conditioning. Wake up, be yourself! Find out who you really are, what you really are, because then you truly begin to live a real, free life.”

“We are all victims of ourselves. So, we have to wake up and try to find out who we really are and what the purpose of this life is. We need the bravery to be strong, to face ourselves, and to discriminate between what we are and what we are not — between what is our choice and what is conditioning.”

“We are very much under the weight of senses and mind. What drives life mostly for common human beings? Senses and sensual pleasures. That’s the only thing they know. And the other thing they know is this thinking mind, which, for most people, I must say, is a diseased mind. It’s a very conditioned mind. Conditioned by so many factors. The family you were born into. The education you have had. The religion you were born into. And the culture in which you have been brought up. So all this brings a very powerful conditioning over our mind.
And we think we choose, we think the way we want. But we don’t think the way we want. We don’t choose anything. It’s all determined by these drives, which are motivated by the culture, the family, the education, the religion in which we have been born. So what is a free man? A free man is the one who is above all these, who is not conditioned by anything. Because he/she has understood very deeply the way of life and the play that happens in us, and the conditioning that we have.”

“The greatest gift that one may have in life is coming in touch with what is transcendental, what transcends body and mind. Then our life will take a different turn; we will be led to have experiences which will take us gradually to become complete human beings. People who know what this life is all about, what the purpose of life is, why we come here, and what the potential of us human beings is.”

“Learn to die so that you may begin to live. It means learning to transcend this physical body while you are alive, because then you will really begin to live. Your perception of reality will become so widened that it becomes intense, and then you will know what life is. Before that, you will understand that you were really like a corpse, half alive, half dead. So, the main purpose of human beings living in this world is just this: learning how to die while alive.”

“The Guru is the best giver in this world because he gives us what is invisible. And what is invisible? Consciousness. So, what is the purpose of a spiritual master? He tries to give a spiritual transmission to those who relate to him—to make them spiritually alive. Because we are all spiritually dead. We think we are alive because we breathe and think, but that is nothing compared to what life may really be. And one really begins to live when they are awakened spiritually.”

“If we don’t discover what consciousness is, which is our real self, what we really are, then we are missing the whole point of this life. We just came here for nothing. Any pleasure we might enjoy through the body and mind is nothing compared to the pleasure or the inner gratification that we get when we come in touch with the Divine Power. A mystical experience is superior to any other kind of experience that we may have.”

“Masters always tell us that what is temporary – what comes and goes – is unreal because what’s temporary is happening in the realm of time. And time itself is an illusion, which is a reality on a certain level of existence, like the physical plane. But on some other level of existence, time does not exist as a sequence of events. And what is real is the eternal, what’s beyond time and space. And Satguru, through which the supreme Satguru, that is Satpurush or the supreme being, the true being, it’s real because he’s beyond time. So we should live such a life with this awareness that all that’s happening on this plane of duality does not belong to us. We shouldn’t cling to it because now is there and later won’t be there anymore. And we should cling to the eternal, which is the supreme truth. So we should avoid getting stuck, attached in the realm of duality, and always point our attention towards what’s beyond duality. The eternal, the infinite, the supreme reality.”

“This is a world in which every joy is followed by a sorrow, every up is followed by a down, every victory is followed by a defeat, because this is the world of duality. And here we have to go from one side to the other all the time. So the wise people, at some point they get fed up with this crooked and cruel play and want to get out of it, achieve a condition of permanent peace. So, we do this when we get out of this play by giving up all that binds us to it. What is it that binds us mostly to this play? It is desire. As you think, so you become. And everything you want, you will have to get, and then you will repent. But then you will want something else, you will get it, and then you will repent. So, get out of this play. Stop wishing for more, just be happy with what’s needed. All the rest are chains that bind us to this physical world.”

“The Divine manifestation is a very powerful event. It’s a very powerful experience. And in order to inhold it in the same way, we need to be very powerful, very strong, and very intense. We don’t throw ourselves into a big flame; otherwise, we would burn. We have to get used to it by and by. Then there are people who can throw themselves into a flame and not burn. There are people who can walk on coals and not burn their feet, because they have been training themselves. The same is with the mystical path. The same is with to coming in touch with the Divine Power. It’s a very powerful energy. Master Kirpal used to say, “It’s much stronger than electricity.” We know that if we touch an electric cable, we will burn ourselves. So by and by, we have to get used to this intensity of the Divine Power. And the way to get used to it is to develop an incredible love for this Divine Power, for the Divine Light. So, all the practice that we do following the path aims to make us ready for this capacity of inholding the Divine Power.”

“Reduce the worldly involvement to the needed and try to find your joy, your peace, your bliss, in the spiritual practice.”
