“Sometimes it happens that someone is interested in us for some reason, and we are also interested in that person for some reason of our own, and then we are friendly to each other. Then we believe in each other because we each need something from each other. For example, if I have some food and the other one has some fruit, and he needs food and I need fruit, then we cooperate with each other and become friendly with each other due to the interchange of our selfish motives. We misinterpret this exchange of selfish motives to be love, but it is not. All the worldly relationships and friendships are based on give and take, I am sorry to say...”

Discussing romantic notions of love
“If we are to eat, we are to eat for God. If we are to have a body, it is only for finding God. If we have got a family, it is only for finding God. We have got our house, it should be for finding God. If we have got some property, it should be for finding God. That the aim (of life) is to be one with our own Self. – ”
—Sant Thakar Singh, May 6th, 1994 Mur-de-Sologne, France
“When one begins to hear the Inner Sound, one's mind is brought under control. By no other means will it come round." "....By your inner ear you will hear the resounding Sound of the Unstruck Melody. This done, you will take hardly any time in being roused and stirred and you will remain fascinated and enraptured in the Melodious Sounds of Saut-i-Sarmad." -- Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry of Soami Ji Maharaj: Book One, Bachan 19, Shabd/Hymn 11: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152779839870134”
