“Sumiran, Dhyan, Bhajan aur Pothi ka Paath karne waale Satsangi tho bahut milthe hain, magar aise Satsangi bahut kam hain jo sachhe dil se yeh chahte rahte hon ki is duniya ke ragdon jhagdon se jald chutkara ho, yaani shareer choot jaave aur Maalik ke Charnon mein pahunche. Is kism ki sachhi khwahish hona badi baath hai. Kisi waqt dukh aan kar pada, us waqt maut maang lena aur baath hai. Magar duniyawi sukhon ke hothe hue bhee jab sansaar se vairagya aur Maalik ke Charnon mein anurag dil mein bana rahe, tab samajhna chahiye ki prem jaaga.... Is kism ke sachhe bhakton ko Maalik Aap se Aap Kheenchta hai.”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan, Part I, No. 20, Page 31.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“There may be found many Satsangis who perform Sumiran, Dhyan and Bhajan, and recite Paath from the scriptures. But there are extremely few who honestly and wholeheartedly desire that they be freed from the troubles and squabbles of this world, i.e. they quit the mortal body and attain the Supreme Godhead’s Lotus Feet. An intense yearning of this nature is a great thing. It is a different matter if one asks for death while under duress from some particular grief. True love may be regarded to have been engendered if one develops indifference to the world and longing for one’s Supreme Parent even in the midst of worldly joys.”
