The following section contains the collected quotes from Satguru Sirio Ji and earlier Masters of Surat Shabd Yoga.
“To the best of your efforts you should resort to the repetition of charged Names all along your vacant moments and keep yourself immersed in the loving remembrance of the Master.”
“It is difficult to control your senses, to rise above body consciousness, to keep thoughts pure and not to think ill of others. If we accomplish these things, it is not difficult to realize God.”
“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.”
“The thinking mind is made of the same nature of time. The mind is the agent of time by which everything is manifested in this world.”
“If you want the Light of the Infinite to reflect into the inner chamber of the heart, you have to cleanse the mirror of our Soul, so this Light might reflect!”
“Every meditation that we do is an act of love.”
“The Master’s eyes are the main gate through which the Grace flows.”
“When I am silent,
I fall into the place where everything is music.”
“Be Good, Do Good, Be One.”
“What you want to do tomorrow, do today;
what you want to do today, do it now.”
“In Your remembrance my eyes have shed hundreds of tears.
The sighs have erupted storms in my heart.
After coming make my weeping heart laugh.
O Sawan, come sometime, come sometime.”
“We are in physical bodies. We are conscious entities. We are so much tied up with mind and matter that we cannot differentiate ourselves. We have to leave the physical, transcend the astral, go further beyond the causal, supercausal, and reach the true home of our Father. That is the true destination for each one of us.”
“At every instant arrives the voice of love from right and left, we are starting to the Heaven, who comes to watch?”
“If we wish to love God truly in the most practical way, we must love our fellow-beings. We must love others as we do our dear ones. We should be happy in the happiness of others and suffer in the sufferings of others. We should endure all that comes cheerfully, accepting His Will, and never hurt or harm any of His beings.”
“If we will not think ill of anyone, our love would be universal. When we forgive the guilty and not wish ill of him, we will have no enemy. A forgiving person is always happy. It is impossible to describe the happiness, calmness of mind and peace which results from forgiveness.”
“No matter how close you bring the rusted iron in contact with a magnet, still it will not attract the iron towards it. Unless you clean that iron, unless you remove the rust from that iron, that magnet will not pull it towards itself. In the same way, if our soul is not purified, if our soul has the dirt of the organs of the worldly pleasures and the worldly things, then that Shabd will not pull our soul up. What happens now? The Shabd is sounding in our within and it is very close to our soul. We are hearing it, we are even enjoying it, but because our soul is not purified, that Shabd is not pulling our soul up. So that is why we need to do a lot of Simran, because when our soul will be purified it will take no time for the Shabd to pull her up.”
“If we have helped even one person by removing a little misery from his day, we have done a great service.”
“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.”
“All is dependent upon the background, the earnestness, the love and devotion that a person will put into the spiritual practices.”
“There is a lot of charging of the Master in parshad which They give us, a lot of grace is contained in that parshad of the Master. If we take that parshad with full love and faith in the Master, we can gain a lot.”
