Spirituality is knowledge of the self —
liberating yourself from mind
and outgoing faculties at will.
Rise above them and know that God Power
which is controlling us in the body
and controlling all of Creation;
come face-to-face with that Reality.
— Sant Kirpal Singh
Surat Shabd Yoga
The spiritual path is a essentially a practical path. It is only the spirit – disencumbered and depersonalized – that can undertake the spiritual journey. The inner man, the soul in man, has to rise above body-consciousness before it can traverse into higher consciousness or the consciousness of the cosmos and of the beyond. All this and more becomes possible through the Surat Shabd Yoga or the union of “self” in man (Surat or consciousness) with the Shabd or Sound Principle.
