“Any spiritual Path must be a practical Path. Something on which you work according to the method to come to experience what the Path offers to you. So, if you don’t put it into practice nothing is going to happen. And this is not just about Surat Shabd Yoga or any other type of Yoga. It’s about everything in life. You are given a theory about something. How to do this. How to do that. But if you don’t do it nothing is going to happen. So, a Master proposes something to a seeker. I propose to you a Path that’s called Surat Shabd Yoga. But if you don’t put into practice the Path, the methodology then nothing is going to happen. So, first of all, it has to be put into action, in practice if you want to get any results. Otherwise, it’s pure theory, belief, or doctrine which doesn’t take you anywhere.”

“When we suffer a lot then we are capable of making decisions in order not to suffer again in that way and improve and become better human beings.

“Evil it’s an apparent phenomenon. Like everything, it’s real and unreal. It has a purpose and the purpose is evolution. As far as it may seem absurd, evil is very important. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be evolution in this world. It’s like why is there suffering? Suffering is there because we need to learn things. It’s not a malediction going through a very intense suffering period in life. Sometimes from the darkest experiences, there comes out the brightest transformation. So, suffering and evil also are needed.”

“God is a phenomenon that keeps renewing itself. And He is never the same. So, how can you believe in the words of a person that came centuries or millennia ago? Some Truths are always valid, but the basic message doesn’t apply anymore to the times. Because Truth keeps renewing itself. It’s never the same.”

“Once we transcend this body, once we transcend this physical consciousness and we raise into the Light then in a minute you can so much information that all the books on this Earth do not give it to you.”

“Logic and reason do not take us to the Truth. Also, the scientific method doesn’t take us the Truth. Because the scientific method is very cold and goes with reason and they see nothing else. So, we talk about many things, but eventually what reveals the Truth is silence. The real Truth is in silence. Words inspire us to move on in a certain direction. But eventually what reveals the real Truth is silence. So, it’s very good to understand deeply life from a mental point of view, theoretically. But that’s not enough, then we have to experience it also. And silence will reveal it to us. Silence in the body, silence in the mind, then the Inner Vision opens and we are flooded with Light. And that will reveal all the Truth.”

“It’s a great fact that’s very difficult to take that this separated I is an illusion. This person with whom we are so much identified it’s also an illusion. It’s a temporary experience. But this will also end, and then we will have to unite with the Supreme I. So, the Supreme I is the real, and the individual I is the illusion. Is the false identification. It’s very important to understand these things, and not only to understand them but to live by these principles and convictions.”

“Sant Ji often used to say: ” None of these your dear and near ones will help you at the time of death. Only the Master will help you. ” Because it’s a friend here in this life and if you stick to it, it will be a friend for you and with you forever. Even when you leave the body. He will be there meeting you and welcoming you and guiding you in the other world.”

“We are here in this world and in this life to grow and to become real human beings. That’s the purpose of this life. To become as perfect as this Supreme Being is perfect. It seems impossible. With all our limits, fears, anxieties, imperfections, lust, anger, greed, attachments and egoism. But when God decides to bless us and to manifest His Light within us, than this Light will transform us.”

“We go through a lifetime for learning things. The time spent in this life goes, but the impressions and experiences that we have gathered through these many years that we spent in a lifetime are what stays with us. That’s what we carry with us. And then, in the next lifetime, what stays with us from all the experiences that we have had in this life is the impressions we have gathered. We forget everything. Once we are born again, we don’t remember anything. Most people don’t remember anything of what was in the previous lifetime. But the impressions that we have gathered that’s what determines all our the choices that we make in the life to come. Those impressions are going to direct our lives. Therefore we will like something. We dislike something. We choose something. We refuse something. Because we have gathered the impressions in our psyche that have given us a certain liking and disliking, certain way of being.”

“Present and eternity are the same thing. In the living present, there is eternity. And what’s eternity? It’s the absence of time. When there is no before and there is no after then there is eternity. So, where do we want to go? What do we want to realize? This we want to realize. Getting out of time and space and absorbing completely in the Divine and being one with Him. One with Him and with everything. So, those who are doing spiritual work and are on the Path are very lucky. Because that’s what they are trying to realize. To become fully conscious beings. Aware of the Divinity, which is in us, that we are, that we were, and that we will always be.”

“It seems that there is a before and after. But in reality, there is only this moment. What was yesterday? It was this moment, this present, which is now. Was different, but that’s what was. And tomorrow will be the same, the same living moment. We keep living this living moment that shifts according to the picture that is projected on the screen of life. So, the only thing which is real is this living moment. Which is always there.”

“Whatever we reach in this lifetime in our spiritual work, it will stay with us. And it also makes a much better experience on the Beyond, when we leave this body. Because there are several levels of consciousness. And the more we evolve in this life, the higher we go when we leave this body. And going higher what does it mean? It means experiencing a greater blessing, a greater bliss, a greater ecstasy and fusion with the Divine until we become united with this Divine Being and we become fully Him.”

“The perception of intensity that life can give if we can stay still preventing the mind from wandering.”
“I know it’s very difficult, I know it’s not easy. Easy to talk, difficult to do. But not impossible. And we have to try again and again and be optimistic that we will succeed. And any piece of the way that we cover in this direction it’s work done and that stays with us. Anything we acquire spiritually we don’t lose it. Maybe sometimes it seems we are losing it because we have other things to experience, so it seems that we are going backward, but it’s not true!”

“Meditation is a very good way of stopping or reducing the wheel of karma, stopping these mind ramifications. Because thoughts are potent and create realities. So, we should be very careful about what we think. Quantum Physics says the same. What we think is going to shape the atoms of our reality and it becomes a fact. Because thoughts are very potent. So, we have to be capable of controlling these thoughts, we have to manage them. We have to learn how to direct these thoughts. That means trying to reduce their activity. Try to be always well-focused on what we are doing. Living the living present. Do not think about the past, do not fantasize about the future, just be present what you are doing.”

“What impedes us from experiencing ourselves as the Divine Beings? It’s our mind. Mind is a big wall. How to calm the mind? The mind ramifications that take are always in the past or the future and do not allow us to enjoy the living present. That’s where the mind goes all the time, in memories and fantasies or fears about the future. What’s going to happen? If you are afraid about the future then we make a scary future for ourselves. So, we should be trusting life, and have faith, hope, and optimism. That’s how we make our life a success. And we should acquire self-control over our thoughts. So, how do we acquire this self-control over our thoughts? By directing the mind by not allowing it to go wherever it wants. So, Master says: “You repeat the Simran instead of thinking of crazy, foolish things. Fantasies and memories. Just do the Simran that will make you feel good.”

“Once we transcend this body, once we transcend this physical consciousness and we raise into the Light, then in a minute you can get so much information that all the books on this Earth do not give it to you. Because this knowledge of this world goes logic and reason, but the real Truth is just revealed in a second.”

“There are two ways of experiencing the Divine. Getting out of this body and going into the Light high above or the Divine descends into you and you feel to be God. And it’s a potential, which is inside of all of us. We are Divine in nature. When Masters say we are Divine in nature it means our true nature is Divinity.”

“We are Eternal Beings. Consciousness is Eternal. It never had a beginning and never will have an end. It’s eternal. The only thing is understanding ourselves as an individual consciousness, an individual being, and becoming a Universal being. The illusion is being a separate being. This ego. This sense of separate I. That’s the illusion. When we get there, we feel to be God. It’s not the matter of what is God, who is God. We are all God. And it’s not a sin to think in this term, because it’s really like this.”
