“The inner journey is one that all the Masters advise us to take. Because it’s the only way that we can change from ordinary human beings into special human beings, from physical human beings into Beings of Light. If we take this remedy we will be deeply transformed, our consciousness will be deeply changed. Consequently, our needs will be deeply transformed, our perception of life will be changed, and our perspective on life will also change.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Whichever situation we go through in life, whichever period we are going through we just be positive; it is a transit. Life it’s a continuous and eternal movement and we watch this movement happening and we try not to identify with it as much as possible.“

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Life is an alternating phenomenon of joys and sorrows and we take it just the way it comes. We try to be equipoised, balanced people and we try not to identify with the phenomenon as much as possible.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Masters want us to become complete human beings, beings capable of selfcontrol, capable of choosing what to do in life, and not just being carried away by events, by what happens, without any capacity to do what’s right and to refuse what’s wrong. Otherwise we make our life more and more complicated, worse and worse, because everything tends to reinforce itself.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“If we follow the mind, we will become full of bad qualities, all those factors that makes us suffer. If we take control over the mind and we move towards the repetition of the holy names of God, then that is where we go. We go towards well-being, harmony, blissfulness and eventually ecstasy.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Along the Path we can only take a great leap if we become intoxicated with His Love, with His Devotion. We can only do it if we completely give ourselves up to it, if we surrender completely to His Inner Presence, Inner Call, and we leave behind all logic, all efort, all reasoning, and we just go into a complete state of silence, of surrender.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“The Path is a path of love, which we may pass through only if we are able to develop a very intense love for our Supreme Lord, our Supreme God, our Sat Guru. There is no other way to pass through the Path. Neither knowledge, discrimination, scientifc research, logic nor reason will take us there.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“We should keep trying, never get tired, never give up, always do our spiritual practices, and always try to improve, always try expose ourselves to the benefcial atmosphere of Satsang. We should always keep the company of the Master, meditate with Him. This will help a lot. In this way, by the end of our lives, we will be diferent from what we were when we came into this life.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“The attention is not a mental faculty, it’s a spiritual faculty, and if we want to switch of the mind, we have to activate this attentive faculty. When we are attentive and fully concentrated, then the mind does not think. Thinking starts when the mind stops being focused, attentive, concentrated.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“We may try to make our life as smooth as possible; that’s our duty, but it’s only by His grace that this may happen.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Any situation we face in life, the only real weapon we have is pray!”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Everything that happens is a lesson from which we need to learn something and be transformed into what we are meant to become in this life. The attitude with which we face things makes quite a difference. If we are peaceful when we take on a challenge, and we watch it, learn from it, then we improve. If we react to it wrongly, then we become increasingly stressed, and eventually we become diseased.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

„We seek refuge at the Satguru, who is like a shelter that protects us from so many dangers of life. Master Kirpal used to say, “When you are going to the refuge of the Master the most painful situations will be turned into easy ones”, just because of being under His protection. So, this is one of the reasons why also we human beings should go to Satguru, because of this protection. Why do we need protection? Because our mind is taking a stray all the time and causing so many troubles to us; leading us in directions, which are not healthy and not for our ultimate good. So, we go to the shelter of the Satguru where He gives the medicine of the Name of God.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Grieving in my heart, I appeal to you: Do not throw away this life, and do not live in error; be done with the past, and begin your regeneration today.”

— Sant Kirpal Singh

“At death, some writhe in agony and torment, and others leave in joy and peace. So what is it all about? They say that at the event of any birth the world rejoices, and the newcomer cries – but brothers, you should live such a life that at departure you yourself rejoice, and the whole world cries. This would mean that you had won the gamble of life.”

— Sant Kirpal Singh

“Satsangis should never understand themselves as alone, and they should never feel that they are helpless and alone, because they are never alone; they are never helpless. The gracious hand of the perfect Master is on their head.”

— Sant Ajaib Singh

“The disciplined initiates should be all the more humble, pious and overwhelmingly grateful for the divine grace. You should know that the Lord is hidden to the naked eye and those to whom He does manifest must be silently receptive and resigned to His will and pleasure.”

— Sant Kirpal Singh

“The highest type of love for the lover is to live in the Will of the Beloved.”

— Sant Kirpal Singh

“No matter when the Saints and Mahatmas have come into this world and written their bani, all Mahatmas have had the same things to say: Without the perfect Master we cannot get Naam; without Naam there is no liberation; and without the Satsang we cannot find out about our shortcomings and faults. These are the three main points which the Masters have made in their writings.”

— Sant Ajaib Singh

“When we sit in meditation, we should understand that this inner space of ours is like the holy temple of God, in which we enter, we prostrate, we worship Him, and we beg Him to give us His Darshan.

Then, if we are lucky enough to have His Darshan, or we have the Darshan of the Inner Light, we step into a state of ecstasy, of intoxication. We enter into this inner samadhi of ecstasy, of intoxication, where we enjoy ineffable bliss, something that the human mind cannot comprehend, can never even dream of. There, we forget all the troubles of life, all the pain of separation from our Source. There, we understand that anything that we experience in life, any pains, any sufferings, any joys, any pleasures, are nothing in comparison to any suffering we may have gone through. It was all worthwhile in a way because eventually we were given the chance, the grace, to experience something like this. And then we go deep into a state of complete absorption, complete communion, complete melting of samadhi, in which we completely lose track of time, space, I and mine.

We are just aware of this incredibly powerful Divine Presence, where there is no longer a worshipper and Worshipped One; there is only One, One Reality, no longer divided. We become Him and He becomes us, and then all the headaches of a life are over. We understand that the purpose of creation, the purpose of evolution through the various stages, is worthwhile if the goal, the aim is This. That’s what gives purpose, reason and meaning to all the events of life, all the troubles of life, the motivations of life. Otherwise – without this – life is just a bundle of confusion, an absurdity.”
