“Our soul is of the same essence as God Almighty, but our mind is the shepherd, and the organs of the senses are the sheep. Our soul has been living in the company of our mind and senses. She is involved in their company so much so that she has forgotten her origin, her reality, and since she is living with them, that is why she is behaving like them. When our soul is suffering so much in this world full of suffering, looking at our pitiful condition, God Almighty, Whose essence we are, cannot resist. So He comes down into this world, assuming the human body, and He tells us our real condition through the Satsang. He comes in the form of the Saints and Mahatmas and He tells us, “You are not one of them, you are my essence. You are of the same essence as that of God Almighty; so go within and look at your original form, your real form.”

— Sant Ajaib Singh

“When Sant Satgurus come into this world, no doubt they protect the disciples – They do everything for the disciples; They take the suffering and pain of the disciples, but they never exhibit their qualities to their disciples.

— Sant Ajaib Singh

“At initiation, the Master will explain to you very well what is the inner journey, what we are as human beings and what we know and think that we are. But there is also something of us that we don’t know about: the inner being, the inner man. We are not only this physical body, we have also an astral body, we have a causal body and there’s an astral plane and there’s a causal plane which we have to cross in order to reach the Abode of Truth. This is the theoretical part of initiation. All these explanations will be given in a very detailed way.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Nobody wants to be near the person with problems of any kind. People like to be in the company of people who are happy and smiling and enjoying life. If you have problems, it’s your problem, you solve it yourself. This is the general attitude, we’re not all like this, thank God. There are many people who are very good people and they like and want to help those in need.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Falling in love with Satguru is the most blessed happening in our life. Because all the other loves are temporary, they come and go. Today they are there, but tomorrow they disappear and fade away. But if love for Satguru is deep and true, then it will stay with us forever.”

“The repetition of the Simran is the way of expressing our love for our Beloved by continuously calling on Him. So, has to manifest our love and devotion and show practically that we so much care about Him, want His closeness, and so much we want to attract His presence in our life and being.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“On the Path what counts is love. Love for everything and everybody. Love for Satguru and God. For a human being to love God manifested in human eyes that you can look at, that you love, and that you like to look at it’s very important. And we need to love God by giving Him a face. Otherwise, it’s too abstract for most of the people. Of course, there are exceptions. Some don’t need this. But for most of the people, this is very important. And this is the way things work. Sentimentally, we need a person to love, a concrete person. And also spiritually it’s the same phenomenon. It works the same way. So, this love has to intensify until it becomes the dominating factor of life. The love for God has to saturate our being. And love is the way, above all other ways.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“We keep going on the Path. We overcome everything, all the obstacles, because we are brave. We are strong seekers of Truth. So, we keep going until we reach our goal, which is the void, which vibrates and sounds.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“For this is beauty, when you don’t take the credit for what you do, because we should always be fully convinced that it’s all His grace that allows us to do whatever we do. It’s all His grace if we are capable of doing anything. It’s His blessing. It’s His gift.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“A Master-soul, a Master that can lead us from the human to the divine who can help us experience something that goes beyond the physical perception into the spiritual perception which is beyond body, senses and mind.”

“When we follow the Path and stick to the Master then what happens? We will become stable like a rock. Like a mountain that has no earthquakes, no hurricanes, no winds, nothing can move. So, that’s what we want to become in life. Somebody who knows what’s the purpose of life and actualizes it in her/his life.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“If you take initiation from a Master and follow the teachings as they are given to us, then you will be able to inhold and welcome the Divine presence, which can be very powerful and shocking. But if we do it according to the teachings, then we will be able to welcome it harmoniously, and what will generate inside of us, will be bliss, intoxication, and ecstasy. And that is the juice of the Path and the practice. Coming to a state of bliss, joy, intoxication and ecstasy. If we have this, we have had everything. Because that is where the practice wants to take us, to a state of Divine intoxication and Divine ecstasy.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“People ask why you need a Master. The Master is the lighthouse that enlightens the Path and allows us to treat it. He gives light to the Path and helps us to treat it without running into risks. Therefore, this is the role of the Master, showing the Path and helping us follow it.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

He’s our Ishta-deva, He’s our God and will guide us. God will appear to us in that form and He will guide us into the beyond. God will appear to us in the form of our Master and will guide us towards the fusion with the absolute, with the Supreme Truth – Sach Khand.”
