Consciousness does not exist without that of which it is conscious. Reality and illusion are the same — you see illusion only because of the reality. Truth is that which never changes. Nothing is permanent except the experiencer who receives all differing experiences. The experiencer is consciousness — and consciousness alone is the truth.

Our scriptures and holy books give us noble inspiration and exhort us to follow the Path — but we are contented with a mere reading of them. This is like reading a book on cookery that describes how sweets are prepared — yet you can keep reading it and your sense of
taste will not be satisfied, nor will your hunger be appeased.

We have spent all of our time with what we are observing. We have not had the time to turn about and see who the observer is — to see who is sitting within the human body.

Whatever is mine cannot be me. We say this body is mine — yet this body cannot be me. We say this is my mind — yet the mind cannot possibly be me. Then what is the 'me'? You have never encountered your self. You have never come face to face with your self — there has been no meeting.

The truth is that there never was a drop. The ocean has always remained an ocean. There is only the illusion that it is a drop.

Meditation is the art of withdrawing our attention from experience to the experiencer. It is  as simple as that.

A man may know millions and millions of things; he can become acquainted with the whole world, but if he is not aware of the 'knower', he is still ignorant. He may become very knowledgeable but he will not become wise.

The spiritual force is more than a sound, yet cannot be heard. It can be felt, but it is not a vibration. It can create, but it is not the mind. The spiritual force is consciousness itself — it is the essence of both Man and God.

The purer mind gets to the inner regions earlier. Where the mind is foul, the progress is slow. When the understanding is clean and pure, the result is almost instantaneous.

It is not the clock that is slowing down in space — but time itself slows down. Whether you are located on the earth, the sun, or a black hole will make all the difference. It depends upon the location of the observer.

Meditation and Surat Shabd Yoga

From childhood, we are taught to direct our attention outwards, focusing on our physical body and five senses. Meditation is a method in which the attention is withdrawn inwards, instead of outwards, to discover one's deeper truth or Self, commonly known as enlightenment or awakening.

Surat Shabd Yoga is an ancient meditation technique involving listening to inner sounds, which Dr. Ishwar Puri found to be the quickest method of inverting attention inwards. Derived from ancient Indian languages, 'Surat' means attention, 'Shabd' means sound current or audible life stream and 'Yoga' means union.
