Master Sawan Singh Ji used to say that when you have egoism about anything you have done, you lose the benefit of all that you have done. If you have had some good thought or have done some good deed, you should understand yourself as the most fortunate one, and just as you have worked hard and had that good thought or done that good deed, at the same time you should work hard to maintain its fruit. You should be grateful to the Master that because of His grace you were able to do this good deed, and you should always feel yourself as the most fortunate one. But the satsangi should not expect a reward for any good deed which he has done, because egoism comes and we get stuck in it only when we expect a reward for our good deed.”

“When we go along on the Path, we discover and experience something then we should try to keep it and not allow the mind, the force of darkness to cloud it again. In this world, in this existence there is a very powerful force, which is called illusion, in India they call it Maya. And this is really what transforms everything. And what is right becomes wrong.

So, it’ useless to give fault to anybody for what happens to us, it’s our level of consciousness, which attracts or pushes away whatever happens in our life.”
