THE SPIRITUAL TALKS that follow were given by His Holiness Sant Kirpal Singh Ji at Sawan Ashram, Delhi, India. With the exception of the last two talks, they were given in the mornings over a period of five months, beginning October 1967 and ending February 1968.
These talks are very direct in their nature and deal thoroughly with every aspect of Spirituality. They were first delivered in the Hindi language and immediately afterwards were translated into English by the Master for the benefit of a number of Western disciples who were staying at the Ashram at the time. The main theme that the talks revolve around is the true nature of love, how it is developed, and what it gives us. While many of the talks appear to be on the same subject, each one brings out some special aspect and so should be carefully assimilated in order to appreciate the others that follow. As the reader is led from one talk to another, he will find that they present a beautifully interwoven whole, of which each one is just a part.
The subject of Spirituality, pure and simple, has never before been dealt with as clearly or concisely as these morning talks set forth. To many seekers after truth, Spirituality has often appeared to be enshrouded with dark sayings, impossible asceticisms or occult mystification, as given in the many schools of thought which purport to satisfy man's basic need in his search for God. To those who are sincere, these morning talks will appear as a brilliant shaft of light dispelling the dark clouds of ignorance.
They tell us what is required in order to develop the spiritual side of our nature and if we can but translate their contents into positive action, our spiritual development would progress by leaps and bounds. We must first live a Godly life before we can know God, and the ways and means by which this is accomplished is termed "Manmaking" by the Master. If all vices are eliminated and replaced with the ennobling virtues as described in these talks, the requisite purity of heart and mind, essential for progress on the Way, will be developed. If we do this, then, as the Master has put it, "God will meet us, sure and certain."
