“The first thing which we need to think upon is whether we sincerely do our meditation and mold our lives according to the instructions of the Master. If we follow His commandments and if we follow Him completely, then Master does not hide anything from us. He enters within such a soul the same way as the rock candy is dissolved in milk. The color or the appearance of the milk does not change, only the taste of the milk has changed. In the same way those souls who live according to the instructions of the Master, Master sits within them bringing all the prosperities and all His confidence.”

“Whoever insists on his own ideas and does not want to obey, doubtless he will also get the Master’s love, but the inner key will not be entrusted to him.”

“Whatever meditation we are doing from day to day is counted, and we are collecting a big store of meditation. All the remembrance of God which we have done – even one moment’s remembrance – is counted in our devotion. Don’t ever think that whatever time you are devoting is not being counted. Master knows about our devotion; He knows how much we have done. He is perfecting our path of meditation, and when the time comes, He hands it over to us.”

“Make up your mind whether you would like to conform to the dictates of your mind or to the commandments of the Master. The choice lies in your own hands; you are free to choose; no one else can make the choice for you.”

“First of all the disciple needs to have love for the Master. And the second thing which he needs is to have faith in the Master. If he has both these things: love for the Master and faith in Him, then he gets the inspiration to work hard in meditation and go within himself.

Both these things work side by side – the grace of the Master and the efforts of the disciple. But if we are not making the efforts, if we have become the thieves of meditation, what can the Master do? There can He shower the grace? The Master is not unjust; if we are making the efforts He will definitely shower His grace upon us.”

“Without love you are nowhere.”

“Generally, all the satsangis do not give attention to Simran. They don’t know up to which point they have to do the devotion of Master. At the time of Initiation Master tells us everything very clearly, but we do not try to understand what He says then. The Simran which is given to the disciple is Guru Bhakti. And when you have completed the course of Simran, after that Naam Bhakti is started. With the help of Simran, we have to collect all our scattered thoughts and bring them to the third eye. We can go up to the sun, moon and stars with the help of Simran, and manifest the form of Satguru. And when the form of Satguru is manifested, then Master tells us to catch hold of the Sound, and, after that, the devotion of Naam is started.

But what are we doing? Before completing the devotion of Guru, we start towards the Sound. But even if we hear the Sound, at this stage it does not pull us up. So that’s why we should not forget the Simran even for a moment, whether we are traveling in an airplane, or talking, or walking, or anything. We should not give up our Simran, even if we are talking. When the course of Simran is completed, after that Master Himself pulls our soul up. It is His work; just as a student’s duty is to go to school, and after that, it is the teacher’s duty to teach him. In the same way, the disciple’s duty is to collect his scattered thoughts and reach up to the third eye, and, after that, the responsibility, the duty, of the Master starts. It is His work to pull the soul up. Any disciple who is doing his work can see how Master is working for him and is helping him.”

“God Almighty has always sent His beloved children, the competent Mahatmas, into this world. The purpose of Their coming is to make us understand the reason of creation and why we have been given human birth-what we are supposed to do in the human birth. Even though the Mahatmas are almighty, all competent and perfect from the beginning, still They are so humble that They do not say that They are all conscious or perfect. Only a teacher can make you a teacher; only a wrestler can show you how to wrestle; in the same way, only someone who has done meditation can teach you how to meditate. So even though the Mahatmas are perfect and prepared before coming into this world, still, in order to make us understand that without doing meditation and without working hard we cannot be successful on the Path, the Masters also, in Their lifetimes, work very hard in meditation and teach us how to become like Them.”

“When free, try to remember the holy Names or sweetly think of the Master. The Master-Power is the constant companion and will be extending all necessary help, whether you may be conscious of it or not.”

“When the perfect Master gives Initiation to any soul, in the Form of the Shabd He performs all the wedding rites with the soul just as the wedding rites are performed outside. Then the soul becomes the bride of the Shabd Master, the Shabd Guru, and after that it becomes the responsibility of the Master, it is up to Him: wherever He wants to take the soul. He takes [her]: in whatever condition He wants to keep the soul, He does that, and it is up to Him when to take her out and when not to. Everything remains in His hands.”

“Meditation is most necessary, for only by meditation will all things come of their own accord.”

“We should also try to become beggars for His mercy and blessings, and we should become claimants of His mercy and blessings. How can we do that? We can do that when we obey Him, when we work according to His message and teachings, and when we do the practices regularly which He taught us when He initiated us.”

“Regarding your physical difficulties, you know that all physical ailments are the result or reaction to past karma and must be borne willingly. Yet much of the severity and duration is toned down by the loving grace of the gracious Master-Power working overhead. The barest minimum which cannot be dispensed should be borne gladly with the aid of the gracious protection of the Master.“

“Whenever Satguru comes to this world, He always teaches how to fight against this Kal power. The biggest enemy in this world of all mankind is our mind. There is nobody else who is the enemy of man. So we are not to bow down to our enemy. We are to fight against him. You be brave and fight with mind. So the weapon to fight against the mind is the Naam. Satguru is always ready to help you. Remember Satguru, every difficulty will be removed.”

“If we have the good luck to meet a Master, in which all the foreseen qualities converge, and all of them are to our liking, then we can understand ourselves as the luckiest people on earth. You see, just the fact of meeting any Master is good luck. A Master is of great help in both the life in the world and the spiritual life. He inspires us with his shining life, deeply, inwardly turned, his passion for God is contagious, his faith in Him is absolute, he is a living example of detachment from the world and of worldly matters, a great meditator for whom sitting in meditation for a week at a stretch, is a great pleasure. Thus the company of any Master is a great help.”

Consequently, our needs will be deeply transformed, our perception of life will be changed, and our perspective on life will also change.”

“Whichever situation we go through in life, whichever period we are going through we just be positive; it is a transit. Life it’s a continuous and eternal movement and we watch this movement happening and we try not to identify with it as much as possible.“
