TRADITIONS
People steeped in religious traditions instead of having a fresh look at their relevance today, brand an enquiring mind as irreligious and thereby alienate it from religion.

TRANSFORMATION: MYSTICAL
After marriage, a girl adopts the life-style of her husband. Similarly, after God-realization, the life-style of a devotee is transformed from material into mystical.

TRANSFORMATION NOT CONVERSION
The spiritual personages do not believe in religious conversion but in spiritual transformation.

TROUBLE
A little trouble is a great vexation to a worldly person, while a saint considers it as a passing phase.

TRUE FOLLOWER
One, who is a true human being, is a true follower of all religions.

TRUE MASTER: BEST ESCORT
We need no road to the all-pervading God. The True Master, who knows God, can straightaway escort us to Him.

TRUE MASTER: BESTOWER
A Master always bestows, never begs.

TRUE MASTER BLESSES
Those, who approach a True master as humble and earnest seekers of Truth, are blessed with this boon.

TRUE MASTER: BONDAGE-BREAKER
Instead of binding us to the religious routines, a True Master liberates us from such bondages.

TRUE MASTER CHANGES DESTINY
Dedication to the True Master straightens the reversed gear of our destiny forthwith through his blessings. It is like straightening the inverted letters of a rubber seal when embossed.

TRUE MASTER: CONTEMPORARY
A patient must approach a present physician for treatment, not a physician of the past. Similarly, one must approach the contemporary True Master for spiritual enlightenment.

TRUE MASTER: DIVINITY INCARNATE
Mastership is not a degree or a status. It is divinity. A True Master is divinity-incarnate.

TRUE MASTER ENRICHES
If one tries to become a millionaire by one’s own labour, one may not succeed. But if one is adopted by a millionaire, one instantly becomes a millionaire. Similarly, a True Master bestows spiritual wealth i.e. Enlightenment and thus enriches the devotee in a moment.

TRUE MASTER EXALTS
A True Master is compassionate and exalts even the humblest of the humble.

TRUE MASTER: EXEMPLAR
A True Master never imposes his teachings on anyone, rather he inspires the people by his own example.

TRUE MASTER: INDEX
Not the physical body but the God-knowledge is the index of a True Master.

TRUE MASTER: INDISPENSABLE
Lord Krishna and Lord Rama are revered and worshipped by millions as divine beings. They too were men of flesh and blood like any other human being. But they attained divinity only when they were blessed with Divine Knowledge by their True Masters. How then can we realise Divinity on our own?

TRUE MASTER: KNOWLEDGE, NOT BODY
The Master is immortal: he is not the physical body, but the divine knowledge. The body perishes, but not the knowledge, which is eternal. As a container is valued for its content, the Master’s body is held in high esteem because of his knowledge and teachings. Therefore, we should give primary importance not to his body, but to his word.

TRUE MASTER: LIBERATOR
Religious leaders shackle the people in various bonds, but a True Master liberates them.

TRUE MASTER: PRESCRIPTION SELF-SAME
The contemporary True Master dispenses the pristine medicine prescribed by the ancient seers, but now forgotten. Only the hospital and the physician have changed, but not the prescription.

TRUE MASER: PRESENT
Even to understand the teachings of the past teachers, we surely need the guidance of the present-day teacher. Similarly, though past saints and seers are worthy of reverence, we can realize God only from the contemporary True Master.

TRUE MASTER REVEALS GOD
The preachers only talk about God, but a True Master reveals Him.

TRUE MASTER: SAVIOUR
The grain that ‘sticks’ to the central axle of a grinder is saved from being crushed. Likewise, they, who ‘stick’ to the True Master, are saved from the grinding mill of births and deaths.

TRUE MASTER; SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE
Neither a smart uniform nor a heap of books nor even a grand school building can educate a child. Only a teacher can teach even without any book or building. Similarly, a true Spiritual Guide imparts spiritual knowledge without any religious trappings.

TRUE MASTER: SUPREME
As the knowledge of God is supreme, so is the teacher of God-knowledge. That is why, he is also called a Lord, a Prophet, a Satguru or a True Master.

TRUE MASTER: TEACHINGS
Only they enjoy spiritual bliss and beatitude who imbibe the teachings of the True Master. Those, who hear and forget, cannot enjoy a blissful life. They are just like a leaking pitcher which is never full.

TRUE MASTER: TOUCHSTONE
If God-knowledge bestowed by the True Master tallies with the scriptures, the True Master is indeed true. This is the touchstone.

TRUE MASTER: TRUE FRIEND
Fair-weather friends may desert us in adversity, but not the True Master - our true friend.

TRUE MASTER: TRUE GUIDE
Neither books can teach us nor can tools make us a technician: a competent teacher or a guide alone can teach or train. So is the case with God-knowledge; it can be attained only from a True Master.

TRUE MASTER: UNIFIER
Unlike the worldly people, who divide the masses for their self-interest, a True Master unites all.

TRUE MASTER UNRAVELS
The recitation of the scriptures or worship of the idols is futile. Only a self-realized soul i.e. a True Master can unravel the mystery of Self.

TRUTH: ABOVE MUNDANE
Strangely enough, our concept of truth consists of a truthful statement of mundane matters, but has no relation to the Eternal Truth!

TRUTH: DIFFUSION
Those, who have realized Truth, are duty-bound to diffuse it.

TRUTH: IRREPRESSIBLE
We should never think for a moment, that the voice of Truth can be stilled. It could never be silenced in the past. Whenever anyone tries to suppress it, it bounces with a bang.

TRUTH: NEGATED
One, who nurses malice even after realizing Truth, has, in truth, not realized it.

TRUTH: SIFTING
Only the devotees, who have realized the eternal Truth, can sift Truth from Falsehood.

TRUTH: STEADFAST
After realizing Truth, we may have to face agonizing antagonism, but we should hold fast to it.

TRUTH ULTIMATELY TRIUMPHS
Evil may seem to be dominant for a while, but ultimately truth triumphs.
