Hans Jayanti, Rome, Italy, 9th November, 1977
And what gives peace such a priority to be accomplished is because every Perfect Master, every saint, every Perfect Master, every person even (let's put it that way), who came and who was motivated towards to Supreme Power in any way, has hinted that that's what we have to really accomplish: peace! And that's what makes me so sure. Because it's almost like, I think, within our lives that we all go through, it's almost like a super-miniature world that happens within inside of us, our dissatisfaction.
And what has really brought forth this Knowledge - and it's just like, day after day, day after day, day after day, I mean, it's just like so beautiful, those 12.9 people are receiving Knowledge every day. And that's every day. And those 12.9 people - that's not where it's going to stop. No way, you know? It's just going to go from there on, to even something that's more beautiful. Soon we'll be talking about 24.9 people, then there'll be 40, then it'll be 50, then it'll be 60, 70, 100, 200 - I mean, it's going to multiply. And why is it going to multiply? Because it's Truth. And the people who are sitting in this hall, now I can't speak for all of them, but I know a lot of you have experienced that Knowledge, have experienced that Truth, have experienced that Love that Knowledge really brings. In our lives we have so many concepts. In our lives we are so tied down with our concepts: "Well, what is Knowledge?" Knowledge is an experience that is already within inside of us.
That experience of Knowledge is within inside of us, because that Knowledge is within inside of us. But we need Guru Maharaj Ji, we need Guru Maharaj Ji to be able to tune that so that we can hear it, so that we can feel it, so that we can emerge in it. And by Guru Maharaj Ji's Grace, and only by Guru Maharaj Ji's Grace, have we already reached to the experience of what we are, of what we have.
But we can smile without having to smile. Because that experience has been opened up within inside of us. And today I know that this prachar is just going to go on. This propagation is just going to go on. And so many more brothers and sisters in this world are going to receive Knowledge. And why? It's a very simple deduction to me. I mean, what I am talking about, this is what satsang is all about. This is my experience that I'm talking about, is that this is the only answer.
But that is the way we will be if we are into our minds, so long as we keep placing that concentration within inside of that mind, of that little humming thing that's always constantly following us around, constantly bugging us, constantly trying to dis-attract us.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Saturday, 26 August 1978
Without Guru Maharaji, you can never be on the right track, no matter how hard you try. As a matter of fact, without Guru Maharaji, there is no right track. As a matter of fact what it basically boils down to is without Knowledge, without the Grace, without that Guru Maharaji there is nothing. There is nothing in this world. This world is empty without it.

And without that peace, we all are suffering. Without that understanding of Knowledge, what is our destiny in this world? What is our path in this world? Where are we going to go?

Telephone speech from the Malibu Residence, California, 31st December 1978
What has this world given us? Just imagine what this world has given us. This world has given us itself, and what is it? What is that? What is that? Craziness, misery, suffering. Look at it.
If you were to make a world for yourself, what would you make? If you had two cents worth of brains in your head above your shoulders screwed on right, what would you create: a monster? Would you create misery? Would you create suffering? Would you create craziness?
The Golden Age, December 1978, Number 50

"Well, it's very fortunate to be be able to be alive, to be a premie. That's what I think. One of the, I mean you look at this world, you know, and it's really not coming to any better end. You look at this world and it's really not coming to any place that's even worth talking about. And yet and and and and at every step, of course, there's all these traps built in for man to just come over and eat it, eat it you know and get trapped in it. And it happens so much, you know, you just look, you just look at this world and it's just like,"Wow" it's really amazing because people don't have any goal, people don't have any motivation, people don't have any real understanding of what is the purpose of this life or what you can do with this life."

Rome, Italy, 25 June 1980
"I mean we can live in this world without the inspiration of Knowledge, sure, but that life is quite meaningless, that life is very purposeless and Knowledge brings us that inspiration home, brings us that contentment in our life through which we can live life. Through which it has a meaning, through which it has a purpose through which it has a reason, through which it can motivate us inside to exist for a purpose. It brings us love because without love, life itself would be quite meaningless. And yet, where does that love come from, that can truly inspire us within. Where does that love come from?"
Because when we come in this world, we come for a reason. We live, we exist, we breathe, we have this entire world around us to give it all a meaning, to give us a meaning, to give us a purpose, to give us a motivation. And when we get into all these different trips, the true essence, the true meaning is lost and then all that exists is a very barren life. I mean I, you know, you see so many people out there. What do they do every day? They've got their routine, they get up, get into their routine, come back home and their whole life is just a routine, there is no deviation from that routine, it's just one simple thing, that's all. They don't enjoy it, they can't enjoy it and nobody who else around them enjoys it either. You know it's like, you know, it becomes such a, it can become such a devastating experience and we have to recognize that opportunity in our lives which Guru Maharaj Ji gives us to have a meaning, to have a purpose."
