The following section contains the collected quotes from Satguru Sirio Ji and earlier Masters of Surat Shabd Yoga.
“The spiritual transmission it’s a certain type of osmosis, which is shifted, transmitted from a bigger container to a smaller one.”
“What is spiritual awakening? Spiritual awakening is becoming aware that there is an incredible spiritual energy, which is spiritual Light. And being asleep spiritually what does it mean? That you don’t perceive this Divine Energy, this Divine Light.”
“Satsang is what allows us to grow, to understand the Teachings, to understand at least at an intellectual level the Reality of Life, the Truth of Existence and if we keep listening to the Satsangs of the Master by and by we might have also a spiritual awakening.”
“The greatest good luck of this life is that meeting a True Master. But it is a good luck only if we meet the Master and we recognize Him as such. If we don’t recognize Him as such and we just see in Him just an ordinary man then bad luck of ours. It’s of no use or very little use of this meeting.”
“Once the Inner Eyes open and we transcend the physical consciousness then automatically we step into the River of Light and if you fall into it then it will takes us to the source, to the Ocean of Light.”
“The essence of the all, the substantial aspect of life, the very fundamental element in life, it’s the True Naam, the True Guru and Satsang.”
“The spiritual seeker is somebody who has by the grace of God come to understand in this life there is a goal to be achieved, such a person that has a grace to have been enlightened in this direction of understanding that we don’t just come for eating, drinking, sleeping, working and enjoying some pleasures, suffering a lot and leaving this world for nothing. There is a goal to be reached! There is a purpose for this life, a very elevated and high purpose. So, if you come to understand this then we have to live such a life and do such a practice so that we may go on this journey and reach our destination.”
“When we come in this world, we come with a certain capital, which is what we have been developing through many many existences. The purpose of this life is that of increasing this capital to make it grow, improve it.”
“We have a natural inclination, we come with a certain mission for this life and we have pursue that, so whatever is our inclination, what is our choice in life let’s got deep into it, let’s try to do our best in it.”
“We have to choose what we want to do with our life and just follow what is our natural inclination. If you are looking for God, let’s really look for God! Let’s busy ourselves with this and try to do our best in this project, which we have made for our life.”
“This manifestation it is the emanation, expansion of the Divine. This Infinite Being projects Himselfs endlessly in His creation. Everything is an endless reproduction of this Supreme Being. God is everywhere!”
“We get to lost in what happens normally in our daily life, in what’s happening right now in our life, and if it is a difficult period then we get very depressed, we forget that this is just a part of this long life. So, we should not take it too serious and just overcome and have a wider outlook.”
“It’s always very good to think in big terms. It’s always good to see things from a higher perspective. If we lose ourselves in the details, in the everyday happenings and we become too worried with what is happening right now then we miss the point. Because every detail, everything which happens it’s part of a much wider project. If we lose ourselves in the details then we miss the overview of the all situation. So, whatever is happening in our life right now is just a small part of the whole story, whether is joy or sorrow it doesn’t really matter, because it is not an independent something, it is just a small part of a much wider program.”
“Many people don’t even realize that taking Initiation is making a promise that I will do, put into practice the teachings, which the Master is going to give me at Initiation. They think it’s a joke, it’s a play. So, if we take the Path, the Initiation and the teachings with such an attitude then these going to make banal everything, everything is going to loose meaning and importance, it will not work. We have to take the Holy vow of Initiation with the most sincerity, giving the most importance to it then it will work!”
“If we tune in with the Divine Power of God then we will be able to break this cage of time and space in which we are all stuck and get out of it by entering into that Divine Dimension, which is beyond time and space, which is the Eternal.”
“If we do our spiritual practice then dying is not going to be suffering. We go across, carried by the ship of love that is the Master.”
“If we are full in love with the Master and we have total faith in Him then anything that happens in life we will never understand that it is a curse. We will be sure that anything that happens it is done by our Satguru and that it is meant for our betterment and for our improvement. So, we will take it with joy, we will not suffer it even if it is suffering, we will welcome it and take it with joy.”
“One will go on coming and going until one surrenders one’s whole being to the Guru; and this means living in accordance with His wishes, thinking as he advocates.”
“If we say that we will not go to school and that the teacher should do our work — how is that possible? It is the student’s duty to go to school, and after that it is the schoolmaster’s duty to teach him. Master will never come in the nine openings, so you have to vacate the nine openings and reach the place which you are shown by the Master — behind and between the two eyebrows. So it is the duty of the disciple to reach that place behind the two eyebrows after controlling the outgoing faculties. There you will see how Master is working.
So everybody has to meditate and they should earn their meditation — Shabd Naam — and always feel Master Kirpal’s presence at every place. See Him in all; He is sitting in all.”
“Kabir says, “I have not seen anyone who has taken birth and is happy.” So ask anybody, you see. He’ll say he has something against his wishes. Saint Tulsi Das who was a Saint and Guru Nanak both say the same–“The world is all maya.” Tulsi Das says, “All are unhappy on account of either physical body, illness, or for want of money. Or by the cruelty of mind–all complain against mind.” Then He says, “Is there any remedy for this?” He says, “Yes, there is one remedy. Just sit at the Feet of a Saint.” He lets you know why you are unhappy. We are conscious entities. So we can become happy only when we come into contact with the Higher Consciousness, you see. Our soul is all wisdom, eternal, all joy, all bliss. If our soul comes in contact with the Oversoul or God, only then is there happiness.”
