“The ruling passion is what needed on the spiritual Path, which comes from yearning. You have to create the yearning then you will experience wonderful things. If you have it, you are lucky. If you don’t have it, then spend time with a Master, humbly listen to His words, looking to His eyes, meditate with Him and by and by, you will get there. This yearning will created inside of you. So, when this happens, then this will change the quality, the value and the intensity of your life. You wake up to the Divine Presence.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“The real Master is not going to ask anything from us, doesn’t need anything from us. A real Master will only try to inspire us to find our peace, our contact with the Divine Light, which gives us complete joy and fulfillment. What does Master need from us? Just nothing! If it is a business to make money or a thirst for power, then it’s another situation. And there are many like this, I must say. Selfless Beings, selfless Masters are very rare.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“A human being in a very human condition, how can he have any possible right path to follow? The path that ordinary human being follows is the path of the mind, the path of sensual gratification all the time. Difficult to find the inner way by ourselves. Only in very rare cases. But in 99 percent of the cases we need the support, the inspiration, the upliftment that comes in the company of the Master.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“With outside objects and things, we will never find purpose for this life, no matter what we have. We may become the owner of the whole world, but we will never be satisfied. Therefore, Masters tell us not to think that, you will ever find fulfillment from the outer things. It has to come from inside. of you. That’s where you find real fulfillment. If you are able in silence to find your peace, to go within and experience the opening of the inner vision and coming in touch with the inner Light then you will find the real purpose of life. Then you will find the condition that makes you happy.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“The journey that transforms us from human beings into Divine beings has to happen within ourselves. Once you have transformed within also the way you see the world and everything becomes transformed. It’s not the same anymore for you. So, the Earth becomes the purest gold, and even the Earth becomes Divine. It won’t matter anymore even the matter will be energy for you because that’s what in reality is. We see it as being solid material, like this body of ours. We see and perceive it to be a solid something. But it’s not, we know it very well. We are made of atoms and atoms are made of particles. And particles are light and energy. So, we are all energy. We are floating in a sea of energy, but we are confined physically in this physical perception, in this body and in this material level. That’s why we perceive it as such.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“We should always be positive and optimistic that we will get to Him. And we should never doubt it because this attitude is important. When I met Master Kirpal that was my absolute conviction that I will never leave the Path, that I will never betray my Master and that I will realize the goal of this Path in this lifetime. So, this attitude is helpful and important. Maybe not everybody will be able to realize the Absolute Reality in this lifetime, but we should all try to get as close as possible to it. And try to live a lifestyle which makes it possible. Therefore we should take the Path as the main purpose of life. We should do our best to be a good example for others also. That is how a Satsangi should be. Helping by setting a good example for each other. Everyone should try His/Her best to be as good as possible, as compassionate as possible, helpful.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“The Path of Master must become our Path at some point. It is our story, the story of our life. And we should just as we give importance to the needs of our family in the same way we should give the same attention, love, and dedication to the Path of the Master, that is our Path. So, it’s a love affair. It’s the story of our life when we get into it. But it gives such greatness to our life. It makes it fulfilling because then we will experience life in all possible aspects. Physically, mentally and spiritually. Unless we explore the spiritual dimension, we don’t know anything about life. So, exploring the spiritual dimension is what makes us complete human beings who know the whole spectrum of existence. And when we love so much of your doing, the Path and the Master then the spiritual practice it’s a pleasure. We don’t feel it as a duty, but it’s a pleasure, which is different. Because I want to know what’s it all about. And I’m not just happy hearing it from somebody else, I want to make it on my own.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Let’s make our life wonderful and special. Let’s not be happy with a common ordinary life. Is not why we came here, it’s not the purpose of life. We are here to become Gods, all of us. So let’s try. Maybe we won’t succeed fully, but we get close to it. It’s a way that we have to cover sooner or later. So, the more we cover in this very lifetime of this Path to God, the better it is for us and the higher we will go when we leave this world.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“If we get out of the clouds of our consciousness and of this limited person that we think we are that make us believe that we are just nothing, then we experience that we are not an individual I, but we are universal I, we are God Himself. And it’s not an exaggeration. Because what is God? God is the sum up of all the living beings. We are all part of it, and He is us. So, if you get out of this wrong idea of being a limited and individual I, then we become a universal I. And that is beautiful, it’s keeps value to life, it makes it precious. It’s a wonderful thing to go through life with another level of consciousness, relating life in a different way with awareness of what’s all about.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“In the process of spiritual growth in the beginning, we work on it for ourselves, but later on, if we improve in it and if we come experts in it, then the Divine Power will put us in situations by which we will be by any means compelled to help other people. It is normal. You are a boy, grow up, become a man, get married, have children. Before you were a boy, your parents were taking care of you, giving you what you needed. Now you become a man, have children, you take care of them. So, if we become real spiritual men, then God will use us to inspire and help others because that is the process. You can not keep anything for yourselves. Nothing belongs to us. Whatever is given to us is to be used for the betterment of humanity.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“If you die out of love for God, then you go to God. If you die out of love for the world, then you go back again to the world. Because as you thing, so you become. And where your heart is attached to, that’s where you go. So, those who come on the Path and try to develop any degree of love for God and passion for a transcendence and going Beyond, they are so lucky. We don’t know how lucky we are! But that’s the most precious things what we can do in our life, it is the most important thing that we can do and accomplish while living in this body and in this world. And the purpose of which we come in this body and this world it is to develop while we are here in this world this love for God and experience as much as we can conscious contact with the Divinity and with the Divine Light of God. So, the spiritual practice that we do is so important. And the more we do of it, the more love, passion and attachment will develop for our Beloved. And that will be our treasure when we leave this world, because we can take nothing from this world with us. The only thing we can take with us it’s the love of God, which we have developed.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Morning and evening, sunrise and sunsets they are the most auspicious moments to sit in the sweet remembrance of God. These are the moments in which the extemes and opposites meet. And when the opposites meet, it’s always a great time. Therefore there is a peculiar kind of energy in the air, which is more conducive for meditation. And all the great lovers of God they always spent time in His sweet remembrance at this time.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“In a spiritual life, discipline is the most important factor. Without discipline, you can nowhere. A spiritual person is a disciplined person. So, what does it mean to be disciplined? It means to have a certain lifestyle and stick to it.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“The best service we can do for the human kind is raising the frequency and the level of consciousness of this planet. A level of consciousness generates certain kind of thoughts, feelings and emotions, and the higher is the frequency, the more loving thoughts we will have, the more good we will be. And that is how things get better. People who do meditation they do not just benefit themselves, but they benefit the whole planet, the whole universe. So, we don’t just meditate for ourselves, the act of meditation is service.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“We didn’t make this world and this Humanity. It’s God who has made all of this. And we are all the children of the same Supreme Power. So, we are all a family. Let’s try to understand this. Let’s try to grow into this awareness.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Nobody can give us what a Master can give us because even the best wishers, those who love us the most, they may give us what? Love, affection, protection, money, security. But always on this physical plane always, things related to this body. But we go to the Guru to have something else, something which is untouchable, which you can not hold in your hands, although it comes in your hands also. Something, which is transcendental, which goes beyond body, mind and senses. And that is the Shabd, the Divine Light of God. That is what the Masters put us in touch with. So, that’s the most precious something we may get from anybody. That’s why there is no donor equal to the Guru as Kabir Sahib also says.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“The Path is the boat by which we may sail across the ocean of life. If we follow to stick to it, then this crossing takes over. The Guru is the one that gives us that inspiration, example, and encouragement to keep going, to persist and persevere in doing our spiritual practice, in keeping ourselves connected, tuned in with the Path and the practice, with God’s Power, and eventually with the Light within us. So, we should feel very fortunate to have this inclination to have met the Master that keeps inspiring us with His words and His example. And we should never allow the mind to make us confused and forget the very precious pearls and diamonds that we discover in Satsang as Sant Ji used to say. Because on the Path, there is always this dual tendency or inclination. There are these two elements that take over. One is the mind and one is the soul, the spirit, the wisdom. And the mind always tries its best to make us confused. And it’s not because it’s an independent bad element. It’s an instrument in the hands of God to try out our determination. Because when we are seeking something precious, there are so many impediments. Precious things are difficult to get, and you have to overcome so many obstacles. And only if you are able to overcome those obstacles then you reach that precious something. So, also, God is the most precious thing, and we don’t get there easily. We have to be wise and always discriminate between what’s wrong and what’s right. What takes us away from realization, and what makes it possible for us? So, tests are always there on the Path at every step, and it is good that it is like this because only those who are very determined and wise enough reach there. Eventually, we all reach there, but we have to win over. So, keep doing your practice always, every day as you eat food to keep your body going at the same time you contact with the Light of God to keep you going within, to keep your spirit well fed and nourished.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Sant Ji used to say that at the time of death, nobody will come to your rescue. Even those people who love you won’t be able to help you, because they are in the same condition that you are in. Who is going to help you at the time of death? Only your Master may be able to help you, and the spiritual practice you have done and the inner connection you have developed with the Satguru Power. Only that will come to our rescue.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“There are two ways in which Satguru unites the separated ones. One is that brings together people who are part of the same spiritual group and they have the journey upwards together. That is a Sangat, a group of people who seeks for Truth together. And the other way it’s inside, He unites us, the separated ones, with the Divinity within us. And this is done by meditating with the Master, spending time with the Master, having Darshan, sing the Bhajans together, listen to Satsang. This is what by and by causes this Union to happen. Of course, we know very well each one is on a different stage of His/Her evolution, so it happens differently with everybody like everything is different with everybody, here is also the same. But all those who seek for Truth and Enlightenment in the company of the Master reach their level best in their lifetime.”

— Satguru Sirio Ji

“Time is the factor that may destroy us. Stress it’s all due to time. Running always after the next thing, never getting in time, always late. And we want to do a thousand and one thing. You are never at peace with just breathing, just feeling oneself alive and conscious. That’s already something. That is a great pleasure to feel yourself to be a conscious and a life being with awareness. That is meditation. Increasing these awareness of ourselves, the awareness of the fact of being alive.”
