“Satguru never forgets anything, He never makes any mistakes. After giving us the Initiation He never forgets that He has initiated us. In fact, God Almighty Himself has come into the world in the Form of the Satguru. And while giving us the Initiation He never makes a mistake, and He always remembers us. He always gives us those things which we need. When do we lose faith in Him? When do we stop devoting ourselves to Him? Only when we start craving for more things than we need and create more desires than we should; when those desires are not fulfilled, then we start losing faith in the Master.”

“I was just speaking something about Satsang, or joining the holy congregation of a Saint. It is a school where you are not only taught but are given a demonstration of the God within you. If you want to become educated in a particular subject, you have to go to a school or college where that subject is taught. If you want to learn about your physical body, how it is retarded and how it can be renewed, you have to go to a school where the subject of how to have sound health is taught. If you want to learn engineering, you will have to go to a school where there is some engineer to teach you. So really, this school where you are now sitting is a school where “how to meet God” is taught. Satsang is a school where somebody is sitting who knows God, who sees God and who is competent to give others some demonstration of the God within them, some capital to start with. Such a school only is called Satsang. The word “Satsang” means actually uniting the soul with the all pervading, all existing God. This is possible only when our soul has been analyzed from mind and the outgoing faculties. When we know ourselves, only then are we in a position to know the God who is pervading all, who is controlling all, in whom we live and have our being.”

“The living Master connects your soul with Almighty Lord and He gives to you according to your receptivity. The giver does not have any difficulty because He has come into this world to give. The question lies with the receivers. It depends upon how much receptivity we have. It depends upon our yearning. So I say that it was the most pleasant time in my life when the yearning to do the devotion of God was created within this soul, and when God Kirpal Himself came to this place to quench my soul’s thirst and to satisfy my yearning.”

“The involuntary tears that flow down the cheeks in loving remembrance of the Master will wash away all the dirt of mind.”

“We cannot describe the glory of the Master, because He is limitless. He is gracious, and He can take anyone He wants to the Court of the Lord, because God has given Him permission to bring anyone He wants, and has told Him that He will accept all those who come with Him, no matter how they are. All those who go with the Master are accepted by God, and they are all forgiven.”

“All Masters who came in the past were the children of light. Whenever they came, they gave light to all the world. They came not for one nation, for one country, for one social religion or another, but for all mankind, to lead them back to their Father’s home. Whatever they found helpful on the Godway, they recorded in their scriptures. “I am the light of the world, and he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”, said Jesus.”

“When we repeat the Simran, when we meditate, we have to do it with all of our heart. It works only if you do it with all of our heart. Sant Ajaib Singh used to say, “Don’t do meditation feeling it as a burden, do it with love, because only if you do it with love the Master will be pleased”. So, when we sit in meditation, we should sit with such a pleasure, the pleasure of doing it, it is so great to meditate! So, we should really put all of our attention into it.”

“We should always keep our attention turned towards the most important factors of life, the purpose of our life, why we came here.”

“The main purpose of life is to realise Divinity.”

“We should be convinced that it’s only by the grace of our Satguru will be able to give shape to our distorted condition, to make it smooth, peaceful and loving.”

“Master Kirpal used to say that what one person has done, we can all do. So why not just go ahead and do it? We can all become great beings, beings full of Light, full of joy, full of Love. It’s there for everyone, but we have to want it, and to give it priority above everything else. Only then will it work. Even if you are unable to be a great meditator and do a lot of practice, whatever you are able to do is going to help you, because you start from where you are. Each one of us has a certain potential, and how far are able to go in any field of life is determined by our potential. In this case too, everyone has to start what he has. You can’t be someone else, possessing his or her strength or capacity. All you have is your own capacity.
So, we start with the potential we have and try to develop it. That is what I did. In my life, I have always spent time with spiritual people. I have held retreats, I do my practice, I spent time with my Masters and in this way, by and by, you get into it very deeply. It becomes yours—obviously. There are some who say that only people from a certain part of the world can realise this, that only people belonging to a certain race or a certain religion can realise this, but that’s not true. Every human being has spiritual potential. Spirituality is not only for Indians, or Japanese, or Americans or Europeans, it’s for everybody. It is there for everyone!”

„We look for a Path, we go to a Master, we take initiation then we have to do our practice and keep nurturing our spiritual perception; the seed, which has been planted at initiation. Keep watering it through our meditation and let it grow.”

“We should make an effort in our life to get close to the Truth. So, we should seek for the Divine grace. This is the greatest purpose of life, to get the grace of God. That is what makes our life complete.”

„We can have joy and peace in life if we accept life the way it comes.”

“Life is never difficult if we love what we are doing. Life becomes difficult when we don’t like what we are doing.”

“We have to become receptive to the Higher Power. It’s always there, it’s in the air, it’s inside of us, it’s in the space. But we don’t perceive it, because our attention, our consciousness is stuck to our body, to our senses. We have to withdraw from that to go within, deep inside our consciousness, and reach this very bright luminous consciousness.”

“This Path is called Guru Bhakti, Guru Mat. It is the Path in which we try to perceive the Divinity of God manifested in our Master.”

“The Masters of the spiritual path called Surat Shabd Yoga say that the expressive power of God has two aspects: Light and Sound. It’s analogous to a natural phenomenon like lightening, where first you see the flash of light and then you hear the thunderclap. These are the two sides of the power of God manifesting as Light and Sound, which has been called the Voice of Silence, the Music of the Spheres, and so on.”

“I’ve seen so many people come and go on the spiritual path. They have lots of experiences in the beginning — quite a spiritual awakening — but then after one, two, three or four years, their consciousness goes back to its usual state, and they lose their spiritual awareness. Spirituality is something we have to keep nourishing daily, just as we nourish our body daily. We give food to our body, so too, spiritually, we have to keep nurturing our soul with the Light of God. Meditation brings into contact with the Light of God. We switch of the mind, the thinking process, and try to find the Inner Light within.”

“Any sincere seeker of Truth should have the pining to become one with the Absolute. Only this way the Path works, only this way we keep progressing on the Path. Otherwise, we maybe on the Path for twenty, thirty or forty years, but if we never experience this incredible longing for God then nothing or very few really happens. So, a person may come on the Path with this incredible longing and have right away incredible experiences. On the other hand a person might be on the Path for many years and never experiencing this incredible longing then nothing really happens. So, we go in the company of the Masters to develop, to be contaiged with this longing for God. Most of the human beings by themselves achieve nothing. It is only when we have a good luck and spending time with a Master soul that something meaningful happens.”
