Who is affected by passions cannot obtain liberation.

All Masters, whether they came in one religion or the other, have been very particular about this point. What are we doing? These things are given great stress, but we people don't care. That's the pity. Buddha says, "I proclaim the annihilation of lust. I teach the doing away with lust. Nirvana means the subsiding of all human passions. When inner fires of lust are extinguished, then one enters into the Nirvana. This is the lesson of lessons." … This is the most important thing and the most ignored. 

A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION FOR SANT KIRPAL SINGH had been arranged by His disciples for 25 January 1964 in Washington, D.C., as He would be returning from His second world tour to India shortly. 

"God is love,  the Master  is Love Personified. When one soul comes in contact with His overflowing love, we are saturated with His love through and through, which washes away all dirt of sins of the past and merges us in oneness with the Father." − Sant Kirpal Singh

Our attention, which is the expression of our soul, is diffused into the world through the outgoing faculties and is identified with them, so much so that we have forgotten ourselves.  

As I told you, it is the soul alone that can know God. Like knows the like. Soul is a conscious entity; God is all consciousness. So the first thing is that we should know ourselves. All Masters, whenever they came, they gave out the same thing: Know thyself. 

How can we know ourselves? By liberating ourselves from the clutches of mind and the outgoing faculties; or, you might say, by analysing ourselves from mind and matter; or, still further, you might say, by rising above body-consciousness. When you know yourself, you will see that that very God whom you find within is already there.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS with Sant Kirpal Singh

My point is that so long as the spirit does not rise above body-consciousness, we remain a stranger to the spiritual world beyond. The real thing is to know one-self, to know the spirit in you.  We are spirits in God. - Sant Kirpal Singh
