The following section contains the collected quotes from Satguru Sirio Ji and earlier Masters of Surat Shabd Yoga.
“I see the caravan of camels as well as their drivers happy from head to foot in the intoxication of love. The rich are intoxicated, the priests are intoxicated, my friends are intoxicated, and even my enemies are intoxicated. I see them all in a state of unique bliss. O heaven, how long will you continue moving! Look at the movement of the elements: Earth is intoxicated; Water is intoxicated; Wind is intoxicated; Earth is intoxicated; and even Fire is intoxicated. This is the state which I see outside. But please do not ask me about the state of my inner being. My senses, my intellect and even my soul are intoxicated, and they have achieved a permanent bliss of intoxication. The roots of these tree-like bodies are drinking the secret wine of love. Have patience, because even you will one day wake up into this state of intoxication. In my mind there is a festival of bliss. You should try to feel the effect of the wine of Divine love, so that even the walls and the doors are all intoxicated.”
“Come, let us go to Sukhman,
That land of calm, unruffled by passions.
Let us sit there and enjoy a drink of great rarity,
With sweet of knowledge and mahua flowers of meditation,
Brewed in faith with the water of the mind.”
“Always be buoyant and fresh when you sit for meditation and wait patiently, like a loving baby looking up into the eyes of the nursing mother.”
“Whenever a Master appears in this world, seekers of the real truth are attracted towards him like moths, and like bees they hover round that loving flower of spirituality and enjoy its taste. They are attracted towards him as the moon-bird is attracted to the moon in the sky. They cannot endure separation even for a moment. Because of the divine power of the Master, soul are attracted towards him, and the fire of steadfast love and devotion is awakened in them. This love and devotion is the means of making the disciple a recipient of the Lords’s mercy and of taking him to the original home.”
“Where is that moon that never rises or sets?
Where is the soul that is neither with or without us?
Don’t say it is either here nor there.
All creation is Him but for the eyes that can see.”
“The only way to become a conscious co-worker of the divine plan is to know that He’s doing it, you are not. You will have to become a mouthpiece of God. Masters speak as inspired by God, and we all have to become that. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Every king wants his son to be a king, not a minister. Every Saint wants his man coming up to be a Saint.”
“The abstract conception of the Truth is of no use to humanity if this Truth stays a transcendental fact.”
“The Supreme teaching is an unspoken word.”
“Truth is a dynamic force, which keeps renewing itself all the time.”
“If we are able to get out of the cage of body and mind then we get out the cage of Time and Space and we see the reality with our eyes. That is why we are come on the Path, that is why we do the spiritual practice to experience this fact!”
“A spiritual person tries to find pleasure, nourishment, gratification from within, from within himself/herself. The way for this is through meditation, by annihilating the mind and by activating, waking up the Soul, the Spirit. This happens when we stop the thinking and we focus the attention.”
“Getting lost in Him, look to find the true Self, to go beyond form, beyond the duality, in order to achieve unity in the Formless.”
“Absence of me, presence of thee we want to practice, no more I, only God is our common living, in the Supreme peace it’s our common state, the Divine Beauty from our face we want to radiate.”
“We want to make our Master happy and give Him our loyality, cooperation and tireless service in His mission as a gift to be able to raise the consciousness of the biggest number of people. If His teaching requires a life that should be a brilliant, honest, truthful, nonviolent and full of selfless service to the neighbour, Spartan and unsophisticated, lover of nature and respectful toward the life of all, for us will only be a great pleasure to live that way and we will make all possible efforts to excel in all those virtues ready to do something more and nothing less.”
“When the sun rises, I sit down to beg for your love. My heart and soul are pining, bless me by manifesting Thy Own shining presence glow.”
“If you want to be free runaway from Your freedom…”
“Spending time with a living Master is the most helping factor in changing our lifestyle, in changing our habits, in changing deeply within.”
“It’s not what we believe that shapes this body and this mind, it’s not our beliefs that will liberate us. It’s the lifestyle that we have that shows how free we are, and a free person is not addicted to anything.”
“Tell me your habits and I tell you who you are, what you are…”
“This body is formed by those things that we eat, drink, even the air that we breath in. All of these are shaping this body and consequently this mind. It’s not what we believe that shapes this body and this mind. It’s not our beliefs that liberate us! It’s the lifestyle that we have which shows how free we are, and a free person is not addicted to anything. A free person is somebody who chooses what to take and what not to take and it’s not compelled by habits, by addictions or dependence!”
