The following section contains the collected quotes from Satguru Sirio Ji and earlier Masters of Surat Shabd Yoga.
“The direct perception of Reality comes only when we are able to completely free our mind from all schemes, from all beliefs, from all social and cultural habits, from all thoughts, and we are able to reach the no-mind, absence of thought, the supreme quietness, and the deepest peace.”
“Do not be like a pendulum swinging left and right. Recognize Gods will for you and act accordingly. Do not be like sheep who blindly follow what others do or say.”
“Everyone builds up his cages – as we think so we become – and thus our reality becomes.”
“With each person and in every situation allow that always good and compassionate be our intention.”
“We can do several things to make out of our life: a flower garden, a green oasis in the desert of existence, a place of hope from which radiates peace and love – or we can make it into a battlefield, a field of thorny bushes fenced with barbed wire, in which we do not allow entrance to anybody, and in which nobody wants to enter.”
“The Master acts as a solicitor, so He will always remind us what is the purpose of life and always will inspire us in that direction.”
“The real spiritual liberation does not mean having transcendental, mystical experiences of God, but it means how are we able to put these experiences into practice. This is the ability to realize the Truth or Light and Harmony in practice what we can experience in deep meditation.”
“Wisdom is the ability to adapt to situations; stupidity is always clashing.”
“Any teaching has value if we apply it in our life, if it stays just confined in the pages of a book, no use.”
“This is not your life, this is a gift that God has given to you; so you use this life for His service.”
“We may radiate peace to others if we have peace in ourselves.”
“The spiritual person is very creative and original, who knows how to be himself and knows how to make his own way, and also knows how things are – not a thinking machine.”
“Holy books, doctrines, theologies are there for people who don’t have the experience; people who have the experience themselves, they don’t need any of this.”
“It is very important to find out, that we have a destination in life and we want to get there.”
“God is here now, Eternity is never absent if the attention we keep anchored in the present.”
“Truth is God, but God is not the Truth, if Truth is not applied in life.”
“As you think so you become. As you think, so you create your reality.”
“Life is a reality that breaks through every door.”
“The ABC of spirituality starts where the limit of the mind and intellect ends.”
“When you give you become broad, your being becomes wide, when you take you become narrow. At least in some fields of life we should choose to live a selfless life. That’s why Masters make a Sangat, they teach to do selfless service. It’s very important that at least in a field of life do something that is not just for yourself, something that is for everybody or nobody.”
