The following section contains the collected quotes from Satguru Sirio Ji and earlier Masters of Surat Shabd Yoga.
“In this physical world we fly with airplanes, helicopters, these and that, in the inner planes we fly on the sweet wings of the Divine Light. And that flying it’s very quick, in a moment you might find yourself on the other side of the Universe or you may find yourself up to Sach Khand, the region of Truth. So, these kind of flight is what we want to learn. Normally people experiences kind of flight when they die, when they leave this world at the time of death. Rarely you find anybody who has this kind of experience while still alive in a human body. That’s why Masters say “Learn to die so that you may begin to live” or you can say “Learn to die so that you may begin to fly”. “
“Sunraise and sunset are very auspicious moments for sitting down doing the devotion, praying, asking, wanting His love and yearning for one of His glimpses.”
“The union with our Source is what everyone is seeking for whether one is aware of it or not. Because that is in the nature of things. Everything in this Universe wants to unite with its origin. So, our soul also wants to unite with the Oversoul and we will never find any peace until we actualize this. We should be wise and cooperate with this process that life puts us in and try to make it easy and not difficult.”
“As Master Kirpal used to say “We have to develop a ruling passion for God”. Everybody has a ruling passion for everything, but God. But a spiritual seekers should develop a ruling passion for God. That’s the only way we can achieve this Supreme Being, this Supreme Reality. Because it’s a very precious, it’s a very sublime condition and as everything, which is precious you don’t get it without working hard. So, if you want to come any close to this Supreme Being then we have to manifest and show that really wanting above everything. “
“We all should pray to our Satguru to come sometime, to bless us sometime, to keep the love, to make our weeping heart laugh, to give us joy, joy of living, a happy life.”
“We should pray constantly our Ishta Deva to please remove all the obstacles, make our life a happy event in which we spread happiness all around.”
“The practice we do, the singing of holy songs is so good, because it calms down our mind and when our mind is calm then we can meditate on Naam and we can get the Supreme happiness.”
“We, human beings are made with these three aspects, we have a body, we have a mind and we have a soul, spirit, consciousness. So, a complete human being is the one who experiences Himself/Herself at these three levels.”
“We should always trust life, we should always trust God and understand that even if you are so small and we can’t see the complexity the whole project, yet there is a project, which is going towards the betterment of the whole planet, of the whole humanity and we’ll have to let it happen.”
“There is a Supreme intelligence that governs all life and moves everything according to well established plan. Very difficult to understand this plan from our point of view, but there is a plan, which is Divine, is very huge, which involves the whole Universe and it goes the way it is meant to go, whether we recognize, we accept or we fight with it, yet it has to go the way it goes. Very difficult when we are in a situation to understand the complexity of the whole plan, which is so much above the limited time we are living. But yet it has a complete, perfect plan and it’s meant for the evolution for all of us and nobody can stay behind. We all have to evolve gradually towards to a destination.”
“We may come with a certain attitude in life, whichever it is, but we have to try to improve it. And how do we improve it? We improve it with right knowledge, with the right company and right philosophy of life. The things that mostly helps us it’s always the company we keep.”
“Trust towards life, trust in God is what frees us from fear. People are so afraid of everything, because they don’t have any trust in life, they don’t have any trust in God, they don’t even believing God, many. So, in that mental condition one is very lonely in this world and when you are lonely, you feel afraid. And it’s all made up by ourselves, by our believes, by we think about life. If you have trust then we get help, if you don’t have any trust then we make a hell of our life.”
“All what is about spiritual practice whether it be repetition of Simran, singing of Bhajans or trying to go within penetrating through the dark veil and meeting the Light, all of these has to be done with Love. Sant Ji used to say “Do your meditation with Love, because it will work only if you do it with Love. Don’t understand it as a burden, because then it won’t work.” So, a spiritually inclined person, a person how likes to coming touch with the Divine Power finds a great pleasure in doing these practices, because they enhance the perception towards the Holy Presence. And for a spiritually inclined person life is worthwhile only when one feels the Holy Presence, because that gives a flavour to life, which otherwise we don’t find anywhere.”
“We sit in meditation to tune in by His Grace with the roar of Naam. Naam is that all-pervading, creative Power of God. It is that Supreme energy that manifest all this universe. So, we want to tune in with this Naam Power, which is God-into-expression-Power, because it’s by tuning in with this Divine power that we may go back to our source.”
“When we sit in meditation we want to activate the Third Eye. This Third Eye is not a physical organ, but it’s a spiritual one. Actually it’s the eye of the attention. And the attention is according to Master Kirpal the outer expression of the soul. Means how does the soul express itself in us human beings. Attentions is what makes alive everything. If you are attentive about anything we do then we are alive, we are experiencing something. If we are not attentive then is like being death, we don’t relate to life, we are always elsewhere far from where we are. How does the mind express itself in us? Thru thinking. And this thinking is that barrier, that wall that impedes us to open the third eye, means to activate fully the attention and go very deeply into ourselves, into our real self, which is a non physical reality.”
“We have to face our dark side and we have to transform it from dark make it luminous, make it bright. So, this is a process. We fall in love with the Master, we fall in love with the Path, we understand that that’s the way, which will transform us, then we go through the process. So, then we don’t step back! We have understood what we want to do, we know it’s not easy, because we are difficult beings, we face ourselves, we accept the process.”
“If we are on a spiritual Path, if we are on a quest for Truth, if we are trying to improve our life and make it as good as possible the company of the Master is the best, the most effective factor.”
“Giving the right importance to those things that are so beneficial for our improvement, for our growth, for becoming better human beings it’s a must, it’s a duty for all of those who are seeking Truths, who are seeking improvements in their life. And to give value to those things, which God has granted to us as a helping factor for growing spiritually it’s a must.”
“Any talking, even the most inspiring talking that we do is nothing comparison with the talking that comes from silence. That comes when we are tuned in with God’s presence. The most enlightening words are nothing in comparison. So, eventually God is peace, God is silence and in silence God talks to us. But not just silence from noises or from words, inner silence from thoughts.”
“Thinking is a cruel enemy that makes us worry, anxious, always being elsewhere then where we actually are, because thinking is always about the past and about the future, never about now. So, don’t think of anything, stop thinking. Just think about the One, who has created the thinking.”
