“When you become enlightened [samadhi] you will do tapas.  There is a difference between enlightenment and Self realization.  What Swamiji has achieved is Self realization.  A yogi is a Self realized person.  He is not just an enlightened person.  When a person gets enlightened that person starts doing tapas to realize the Self.”

“If a person does tapas with a desire in mind and attains God realization, then that person can become god.  Swamiji did not do tapas with any desire for himself.  He was made to do tapas so he did not have any desire in mind when he had God realization.  Under such circumstances, the person who does tapas becomes an agent of God and can serve all the people.  Swamiji is an agent of God.  He was chosen by God to be His agent and God trained him to do God’s work.”

“Yogis do tapas for the people, not for the sake of obtaining powers for themselves.”

"All yogis know one another.  They are all the agents of God.  They are all the same and they are all connected together.  They do not have lines or branches or anything like that.  They come from time to time.  They keep meeting together and they decide what is to be done and they go ahead and do it.  They need not be on the same planet at any time, but can be doing service for people on different planets.  They are all the agents of God and whichever agent is sent by God, that agent comes forward to do service."

“Swamiji did not do as he wished.  Whatever his guru said, he did that.  Swamiji did not do anything for his own benefit.”

“Swamiji has come here for the people.  He will not use his powers [tapas shakti] for himself; that is a misuse of the powers.  The guru serves the devotees and the devotees serve the guru.  Swamiji did not incarnate for himself.”

“God realization is not our aim.  First you have to reduce your tensions and keep your path right.  Then people can understand each other.”

“If you do meditation, tensions will come down and you will be able to have good relations with the people around you.  You can be an example to other people to control their minds properly.”
