“You should not have any clutching tendency to have one thing or the other. Simply sit at the door and wait. This sublime silence is best and easily achieved by lovingly and humbly reposing in the gracious Master-Power, to grant and bless you with whatever it deems fit.”

“When we sing these bhajans our mind gets a lot of help in becoming still, and our mind gets many reasons to rely on our Master and to have faith in Him. We sing in the bhajan, “I don’t have any knowledge, I don’t have any understanding, and I cannot comprehend Your greatness, but I know that Nanak says that Satguru is the greatest of all Who has saved my honor in this Iron Age.” So when we sing bhajans like this, we come to realize Who has saved our honor in this Iron Age, and Who is the Power Who is going to help us. That is the Master. So when we sing such bhajans before meditation or before attending the Satsang, our mind gets this understanding, and we can give more attention and more concentration in meditation and in the Satsang.”

“The duties of the world have to be done cheerfully while one is on the physical plane. However, the wonderful gift of God that the Master gives us is superb and the more you practice it, the more you will enjoy it. Necessary help and protection will always be forthcoming.”

“Daily contact with God is the only remedy, until you see that He is the Doer and not yourself.”

“An initiate’s earnest longing should be to see and meet the Radiant Form of the Master within and be a constant, conscious recipient of His blissful, loving grace and blessings. The Master-Power overhead helps in all feasible ways to fulfill this desire.”

“So Mahatmas do not come to give us any new message. The message always remains the same. They just come to make it fresh. Satsang is the fence for protecting our meditation. Our mind is a tireless and obstinate enemy, and if we try only a little bit we cannot dominate it. If we have Someone in the Satsang Who can point out our faults and failures, only then will our mind understand and only then is there some hope of our changing. As long as we stay away from the Satsang we cannot improve our life. When we come to the Satsang and realize what our failures are, then we start improving. That’s why Hazur used to say, ‘Give up hundreds of urgent works to go to Satsang, and give up thousands of urgent works to sit for meditation.”

“Ingratitude is the greatest evil. What has God given us? All that we need and much more. Have we ever offered a thanksgiving prayer for what He has done and the bounteous gifts supplied by Him? If we fulfill these conditions of truthfulness and contentment with a sense of gratefulness, He would not deny us anything for which we may happen to wish.”

„God Himself knows the condition of humanity. He is not dreaming. He knows very well how humanity is, so He doesn’t expect much more than humanity’s potential. We should always try for more, we should always try our best and try to take advantage of the opportunity or occasion to come on the Path, to have a Master and to spend time with somebody who has really given His life fully to the teachings, to the practice – trying to make it a fact, a reality in His life. It’s great good fortune, because you do not find many people in this life, in a world like this.”

“Once we have a transcendental experience, we have to try to bring it into our lives, to transform our lives, because experience in itself doesn’t have much value if we don’t change our lives, if we don’t bring into our environment, into our relationships, if we don’t adopt a different way of living, a different way of relating to anything with regard to life.

If we want the Truth to be of any use, we must live it in our daily lives. So that is how the experiences we have on the Spiritual Path become a fact in our lives. They don’t just remain inner experiences that we had once but that we don’t apply in our lives. We have to be able to show, through every tiny part of our lives, every big and less big fact of our lives, that we have had some kind of special experience. We have to be able to show it through what’s around us, the environment in which we live, the way we take care of things, the way we are able to apply our attention to any tiny or enormous thing in our lives. We really have to show that we have incredible self-control, and then we will be able to take care of the most important things of our lives, and the less important things in the same way, because for us everything will be a manifestation of God. For us everything will be a manifestation of our Guru, of our Master, so we will take care of everything.”

“The transformation will happens on the Path if we keep following it, if we keep exposing ourselves to the radiance of God, to the color of Naam. By and by this will transform us by doing our meditation when we are coming in touch with the Light within us, by doing the Simran, by singing the Bhajans. Gradually all of these goes deep into our bodily tissues, into our cells and we get transformed. Because this is not something, which stays outside of us! The radiance of God goes deeper and deeper into our cells, into the very atoms that compose our body and gradually all of our being, bodily included, mind included, everything becomes transformed.

So, consequently we become like broader beings, much wilder beings, no jailed anymore into this ego trap, in which we identify ourselves by our actions, by our doings, by claiming that “I do this”. “It’s me”. So, this illusion by and by fades away, because we are shown again and again that we don’t do anything, He does everything!“

“The spiritual transmission always happens mostly through the eyes! That is why on this Path is given so much importance to Darshan.”

“When the clouds fall from the sky as rain, it’s difficult to believe that eventually all of this water will end up in the ocean again because it may fall so far away from the ocean, on the mountains and on dry land, here and there, everywhere. But that’s its origin, so it goes back there. It begins flowing, firstly as streams, riverlets, canals and then it eventually becomes rivers, and the rivers definitely end up flowing into the ocean. It might be interrupted here and there, but eventually the flow can’t be stopped and it will find a way to keep going.
The same applies to us. We go through life and we experience so many things. We are born here and there, far away from our centre, from our origin, but the situations we encounter will push us in that direction, no mater what, in spite of ourselves, even if we don’t want to go. Even if we don’t co-operate, eventually we will be pushed in that direction, because that’s where we came from, and that is where we will return.
So it is better to co-operate and find those helping factors which help us to smoothly go towards our origin. Doing our spiritual practices regularly is a way of co-operating that will make it easier for us. Otherwise it will be suffering that pushes us in that direction. Suffering may be the only way in life, but if we do the spiritual practices, if we meditate, it can be considerably reduced. If we come on the Path and we do our practices and we co-operate, then everything flows smoothly.”

„If you are regular with your meditation maybe you will not be blessed always, but for time to time the Divine grace descends upon us and we experience something very beautiful, amazing and fantastic. This gives us strength and power to keep going!
So, we should never interrupt our practice, even if we go through periods of dryness, in which it seems that nothing happens, yet sooner or later our persistence will be taken into consideration and the gates of grace will again open and we will be blessed!”

“Wali, Pir, Prophets, Saints, have come in all periods, and will come in future also. It is not true that God was gracious to souls in the past and He is not concerned for them now. No; the God Who has created this world has many concerns: to keep it running, and to unite those souls with Him who are eager to meet Him – who have yearning to meet Him; it doesn’t matter if they are born in any part of the world; God Himself inspires them and arranges to bring them to the feet of a Saint. God is doing all this while sitting within everybody. He will unite them if He wishes, even if they are living across the ocean.”

“If at every moment you are consciously watching your behavior, a calm consideration will replace a blind instinctive reaction to certain situations in life where the choice lies between committing a lapse in behavior or avoiding it.”

“Remembrance of the Master, day and night, is very helpful.”

“If you want to accomplish anything in this world, the first thing required is to have faith, to have belief. When we are traveling in a train, going over rivers on the bridges built by engineers, we have faith in those engineers that their bridges will not break down. We surrender our precious lives in their hands and travel in the train without any worries. Fearlessly, we sleep all night while the train crosses bridge after bridge. In the same way, when we fly in the air, we go up miles above the earth. We surrender our lives to the pilots and the engineers because we have faith in them that they will take us to the right place and that they are able to take us where we want to go.

Similarly, when we enter into Sant Mat, in the beginning we need much faith in the Master. If we have any doubt, we cannot progress and the way to Him will not be open to us. We can deceive and misguide the people, but we cannot deceive that God Which is within us; we cannot play tricks on Him. In the beginning we need to build up faith outwardly and, after that, when we go within and see with our own eyes, we realize that we need not worry about anything: because the God Who is residing within us is concerned about us and He is doing everything for us.”

“Do not worry as to what may or may not happen in the near or distant future. The Master always shields His children suitably.”

“All the spiritual practices that we do, singing the bhajans, repeating the mantra and so forth, are meant to still the mind, making it very quiet and very peaceful. Switching it off, turning it off completely is rather difficult. It happens rarely and to rare people. But let us at least develop a state in which our minds are at peace, silence, because it’s only when this happens that meditation is possible.”

“The Simran which is given to the disciple is Guru Bhakti. And when you have completed the course of Simran, after that Naam Bhakti is started. With the help of Simran, we have to collect all our scattered thoughts and bring them to the third eye. We can go up to the sun, moon and stars with the help of Simran, and manifest the form of Satguru.”
