“If you want to accomplish anything in this world, the first thing required is to have faith, to have belief. When we are traveling in a train, going over rivers on the bridges built by engineers, we have faith in those engineers that their bridges will not break down. We surrender our precious lives in their hands and travel in the train without any worries. Fearlessly, we sleep all night while the train crosses bridge after bridge. In the same way, when we fly in the air, we go up miles above the earth. We surrender our lives to the pilots and the engineers because we have faith in them that they will take us to the right place and that they are able to take us where we want to go.

Similarly, when we enter into Sant Mat, in the beginning we need much faith in the Master. If we have any doubt, we cannot progress and the way to Him will not be open to us. We can deceive and misguide the people, but we cannot deceive that God Which is within us; we cannot play tricks on Him. In the beginning we need to build up faith outwardly and, after that, when we go within and see with our own eyes, we realize that we need not worry about anything: because the God Who is residing within us is concerned about us and He is doing everything for us.”

“You are all fortunate, because you have got the man body, the highest in all creation, which is next to God. The highest aim in the man body is to know Self and to know God. The ultimate goal of all knowledge is the knowledge of the Self. The Upanishads ask us. What is that by knowing which everything else is known? For that, God makes an arrangement to bring those who have got a real yearning to search for this ideal, in contact somewhere where they can be put on the way back to God, which is within you.”

“All the Saints have said that if there is any true temple, if there is any true mosque, or any true abode where God Almighty resides, it is our human body. Because God does not reside anywhere outside, He is residing within us. So that is why Farid says that all the bad thoughts and the other worldly things which we have in our body are like the dirt. So you should wake up in the morning and using the broom of Simran which your Master has graciously given to you, remove all the thoughts, remove all the dirt of this world from your within and make it clean. Just as we clean the temple or holy place where we worship God, in the same way, God Almighty is within us. So we must remove all the worldly thoughts, all the bad things from our within and clean it with the Simran. That Beloved Who is within you is always awake, so you should also wake up early in the morning. “

“The practice of Simran begins with the repetition of the Master’s objective Names slowly with a mental poise. At first the practice is objective, but in time it becomes subjective.

“Only if we turn within and work on ourselves can we really be transformed from ordinary human beings into very special human beings. That’s the process – it is within us. It is inside of ourselves that our problems exist, and it’s inside of ourselves that we find a solution.”

“With a sincere heart, with a brave attitude we sit down in meditation and try to switch off this mind. If there is a device working and we switch it off, it stops working! The same thing we should do with our mind, switch it off by activating the Surat or the attention. If we are able to fully focus our Surat, our attention at the Tenth Door and keep staring there with perseverance continuously then the mind will smooth down, will quite down. If you are able to keep your attention well focus like this and at the same time we are repeating the Simran, then the inner vision will open!”

„The more Satsangies are bond to the Master, the more they are able to face any possible difficulties of life with a smile on their face, without being shocked by any event. So, it’s not so much not having problems or chances of fear, it’s the way we react to any given situation that’s important!”

It is not a new thing that we are having this problem of the thoughts. For many ages before we came in this birth, in all our previous births, we had this problem of the thoughts. All the fantasies, all the thoughts which we are having, have brought us into this world again and again. This is one type of simran, and because we are in the habit of doing the worldly simran that is why the Masters have given us Their Simran which will cut the simran which we are doing right now – because only the Simran [of the Masters] will help us to remove the habit of doing the worldly simran, and only the contemplation of the Master will help us to remove the contemplation of the worldly things.”
