“When we do spiritual practice, we do not just benefit ourselves, but we contribute to keeping the balance in between the not so good energies and the positive ones. So we are doing first of all a service to ourselves, to our soul for our spiritual evolution, and then we are serving, helping to keep the balance in this world. Thoughts are very potent – used to say Master Kirpal. They are more potent than words and actions. Thoughts move all the world. If you manage to have good thoughts, positive thoughts, thoughts of love, not just when we are on a retreat, but in our daily life, then we are contributing, doing our seva [selfless service] so to say, to keep the balance in this world. So we should try to be beings of Light, beings of Love that serve humanity with their positivity, with their optimism.”

“By seeing the pictures of the past Mahatmas we come to know that They all were born in the human form, They also had the eyes, the nose and the human form like we have, and They also used to walk and talk and do things like we do. How is it possible that in the past God needed to send the Saints into this world and now He does not need to? Like a child who was born two ages or two thousand years ago needed its mother, now also the children who are being born need their mother as much as the children born two ages ago needed her. So in the same way that God needed to send the Saints to this world a few ages or a couple of thousand years back, now also He needs to send the Saints into this world. Because the souls who are born now in this creation need the presence of the Saints in this world as much as the souls who were born in this world in the past.”

“So long as we have the comforts and happinesses of the world we may go on saying, “It is all in the Will of God. God is giving us all these things.” But when in His Will the moments of pain and suffering come in our life, then only a few people are there – rare are the fortunate ones – who remain with the same faith in the Master.”

“The goal of any real spiritual Path is realizing union with the Divinity within ourselves.”

“The sound of a word, in any language, generates a vibration that corresponds with the meaning of the word. It is the same with the Simran. Any word of the Simran has its own particular energy, and if we keep repeating it, really continuously repeating, then by and by we identify with this energy that it represents.”

“The mind is a lover of enjoyments, and in the Naam there is the Maha Ras – the most delectable nectar one can ever taste. If only the mind would take one true sip, it would never again yearn for lower enjoyments.”

“Love for the Simran is awakened only by doing it. You know that you can know about the quality of a tree only when you have eaten the fruit of it. In the same way, when you eat the fruit of the Simran – when you know how effective the Simran is – only then do you appreciate and start doing more Simran. When we do the Simran, we love the Simran, then we come to know how delicious and fruitful it is.”

“In order to break the chain of thoughts is very important to become intoxicated, inebriated with Divine presence. And to become inebriated, intoxicated we have to sing the praises of God with all of our love and devotion. So, according to how intense it is our prayer or call through to the singing – because what it is when we sing we pray to God loud by singing – and the melody, the harmony creates this uplifting atmosphere that becomes a vehicle to transcend the physical consciousness. So then the chain of thoughts breaks and the soul takes the flight.”

“To think about weakness in old age is also a trick of the mind: By making us worry about all the weaknesses which some do experience in old age, our mind is keeping us from Simran. Instead of thinking about old age and its weakness, we should do Simran, which could be of some help to us. But worrying will not help.”

“Whatever your ruling passion is at the end of your life, you’ll be driven there, that’s the law.”

“Satsangis should make the habit of keeping their attention concentrated at the Eye Center, even when they are not meditating, even when they are walking and doing other things of the world, because when we allow our attention to drop down from the Eye Center, it means that we are wasting a lot of our spiritual energy.”

“We realize the goodness of a tree only when we eat its fruit. In the same way, only those who have obeyed the commandments of the Master know how much one enjoys the fruit of obeying the commandments of the Master. All those who are initiated by Master Kirpal will be liberated, because He has taken responsibility for them. But those who have obeyed the commandments of the Master while living – those who have gone within and seen Him while they are living – they are the brave ones. Even though He will liberate everybody, only they are the brave ones who do the work which He told them to do in their lifetime.”

“Desires are the cause of suffering, and he alone is poor who has unfulfilled desires. He who is free from desires is richest. All desires arise in the mind, and when the mind is subdued and is merged in the sound current, the game is won.”
