Quotes by Guru Basantji

Carry these timeless truths with you as you seek the Divine.

If you cannot honour the one you learn from, do not attempt the path under them.

Spiritual energies are not toys for the ego. Playing with them without reverence will eventually cause them to play with you.

-Singamm Basant P.

Guru and his teachings are never for the faint-hearted. For his teachings, he demands that you take absolute responsibility towards Life for changing it from within and not otherwise.

-Singamm Basant P.

When a Guru presents a quote as teaching, it is a command for inner transformation, not an ornament for intellectual pleasure.

If the student refuses to take responsibility and instead treats it lightly, life will not spare them. The same lesson will return wearing different faces, until it is learned in humility.

The chaos they complain about is nothing but neglected wisdom knocking harder.

-Singamm Basant P.

When you come to a True Guru with a long list of problems, he will ultimately lead you to the realisation that none of them are truly the problem; you are the one we need to be working on.

-Singamm Basant P.

Right at your doorstep, within the very comforts of your home, Shrī Dēvi’s boundless Greatness and the wisdom behind it are being laid before you. Do not squander this divine blessing in ignorance. Prove yourself worthy of what is being given.

Never take Her grace for granted, lest one day, She takes you for granted. And when that day comes, it will be the most agonizing blow of all. Do not let such a fate befall you. Show Her, through unwavering effort and surrender, that you recognize the immeasurable compassion being bestowed upon you.

-Singamm Basant P.

If, despite being shown the greater Truth that shapes both your inner reality and the world around you, you resist embracing it, unwilling to let go of the identity you cling to and the illusions you’ve built, then you have failed to grasp the purpose of this life.

Your refusal to surrender is your greatest loss.

Keep your minds clean.

-Singamm Basant P.

Your own ignorance fuels your own arrogance towards the Guru.

Yet, the Guru skillfully uses that very arrogance as a needle to pierce and awaken you.

-Singamm Basant P.

When your Guru gives feedback or guidance, it can sometimes touch on unhealed parts of your being. These reactions can manifest in various ways, but it's crucial not to let them turn into negative expressions directed at your Guru.

Taking offense in these situations indicates that you've crossed a boundary.

It's your ego reacting, causing you to lash out at your Guru.

You must remain extremely aware and conscious of your emotions.

If you can't manage this, how can you hope to become strong enough to be aware and conscious of the infinite mother?

Reflect on this.

-Singamm Basant P.

Realize that a Guru may not always offer praise. Often, the methods used can be challenging and uncomfortable, aimed at clearing a significant portion of your karma.

Commitment to your spiritual liberation means enduring these challenges regardless of their difficulty.

Think about it.

-Singamm Basant P.

Many of you struggle greatly with this.

Who you are becomes apparent in the Guru's presence.

Some react with disdain when overwhelmed by the Guru's presence, only to discover that initial bitterness leads to profound sweetness later in life. Shame on those who react with disdain and persist in their narrow-minded ways.

Think about it.

-Singamm Basant P.

Don't let your Guru always overclarify because you overthink each time. If you do not have the basic sense of BELIEF (an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof - meaning from Google), then nothing will move for you in this path, let alone in your whole Life.

Fix your belief first, and you will see Her presence effortlessly in every moment of your Life.

Overthinking keeps you away from Her.

Think about it, but pls don't overthink!

-Singamm Basant P.

It is for your own good in my heart.

There is a thin line between getting offended and being refined.

You will get offended if you get your ego in between.

You will get refined if you don't get your ego in the way.

-Singamm Basant P.

When you are imparted the Highest, you cannot continue to behave from your lowest.

If you still do, a major conflict between you and your Guru becomes inevitable.

The Guru is not the cause of the conflicts; your attachment to the lowest is.
