The following section contains the collected quotes from Satguru Sirio Ji and earlier Masters of Surat Shabd Yoga.
“Satsang is association with Truth. The Truth, which is expressed by the words of the Master. And what the Master talks is not something that He has learned because of reading and studying the scriptures, is not because He was taught a special system of preaching. Master is not bound by any scriptures, by any systems, He is a free man and He talks what He is experience!”
“Either we keep having desire after desire for worldly things, which will fill our mind, our senses and our all being or we begin yearning for God. We can’t do both things!”
“We have to be very smart going through life and choose what’s a helping factor for our spiritual growth and leave aside what’s an impediment.”
“If we decide that God and Truth are our priority in life then we have to life a kind of a lifestyle, which allows this realization to happen. And for this, spiritual practice is the most important factor, is the tool by which we actualize this in our life.”
“The dross of mind can be washed clean. The sovereign and the most potent remedy to wash the mind clean, say all the Masters, is by communion with the holy Word.”
“The priority in the life of a seeker of Truth should be God first and God last!”
“Keep the company of the Saints, do the meditation on Naam and try to have your own personal experience of the transformation from human into Divine. “
“With all the strength a man can have, he cannot fathom the love of God and of the Master which He has for a loving disciple. The Master stands by the initiates even in dreams. The disciple is guided by His mighty hand each fraction of a second.”
“Saints and Mahatmas do not come into this world to give us the training of fighting with other people or with each other. They do not come into this world to teach us criticism and backbiting or hating others, and they do not come into this world to make us obtain name and fame and the power of this world. They come into this world to teach us about God and to develop the love of God within us.”
“One has to outlive and forget one’s past whatever it be…”
“Remembrance of God is the main thing before us to find the way to Him. The purpose of all devotional exercises, places of worship and pilgrimages is the same. The human body is the veritable temple of God.”
“Just as one who is standing on a hill sees where the fire is burning, in the same way, God is also aware of our yearning, of the longing in our hearts. He knows who wants to meet Him.”
“Sitting in sweet remembrance of the Master is exactly what the words imply. There is no technology involved in it. It is simple enough – a feeling of deep-seated love naturally created within or a longing.”
“Those who turn their back upon the world and are wholly engrossed in the love of the Master and make loving devotion as their ruling passion, they easily and quickly get transformed into the likeness of the Master.”
“Once you are on the Path and you stick to the Master, He will take care of all your needs, if you are really His devotee and you really take Him as a centre of your life.”
“If we want to improve our life and if we want to improve ourselves, the best way is spending time with people who are better than us. Any evolution in our life it has always happened by meeting somebody who is better than us, more advanced, more free than we are.”
“This world is like a platform on which many actors come to perform.”
“Normally people when something happens and they don’t like, they say it’s a disgrace, it’s curse; and this is what makes life miserable for people! They are not able to see the hidden hand of God behind the event!”
„We need to make our within, our heart, very strong, very courageous, very grand, if we want to preserve this wealth of Spirituality. We should not be like a gambler and waste the spiritual wealth which we have gained for the worldly problems. Because when we are living in this world the pains and happiness are [both] going to come. The problems will come, so that is why we need to make our heart, our within, very strong, so that we can maintain and preserve this spiritual wealth which we are getting from doing the meditation.”
“We should stop blaming others, blaming life and blaming God for what happens to us. It’s always a lesson to which we have to learn something.”
