A Sample of Quotes from the Cult's "Holey Scriptures"



"It is self-defeating to deride the works of ECKANKAR, to try to defy the spiritual influence of the ECK or look upon the SUGMAD and the living ECK Master negatively, or with the eyes of Kal. The ECK Master has always been a figure of controversy in the materialstic world and will always be, for he is a spiritual giant in the flesh. He could bring peace and happiness to this world, but it is not his purpose. The races and people of the earth are willing agents of the Kal power. They perform his duties to keep any spiritual influence out of this materialistic world, including that of the living ECK Master if at all possible." THE SHARIYAT-KI-SUGMAD, pg. 133

"Those who apply themselves to the path of ECKANKAR will succeed and those who keep themselves aloof and far away from ECK will not succeed to the higher levels of the spiritual worlds." pg. 135

"The mission of true spirituality can only be carried on successully by the living ECK Master . . . whoever attempts to reach God can only go through the Mahanta and not throught those who are seeking possession of the world." pg. 135

"Only those who have received the Word in initiation can be given the blessings of the SUGMAD through the Mahanta." pg. 137

[Those who doubt or follow other masters] "speak with false tongues for none but the living ECK Master has the authority to speak in the name of the SUGMAD." pg. 138

"The initiates, mainly of the Fifth Circle, do not suffer from insanity, instability, neurosis or worry . . . the higher one goes in the initiations the greater become his survival factors, both in the psychic and spiritual worlds." pg. 139

"Those who need the living ECK Master will always stay with him, but those who feel that they are beyond this are wrong in their thinking. They have not examined the truth, and will go afoul of the illusions established by the Kal." pg. 143

"The highway into the Kingdom of Heaven is narrow, and the way is strewn with the spiritual corpses of those who have failed. Only those who give up all for the love of the Mahanta can ever reach the gates of paradise." pg. 125

"He who listens to the living ECK Master and obeys him will have his love and will be freed of his wordly karma. He will enter into the spiritual worlds a free Soul." pg. 125

"If the living Eck Master performs a miracle of healing, of bringing justice, or giving one something of a material nature, be not surpised for it is in his nature to do such things when necessary . . . he is the only one that can do such things. All others are false masters, false prophets and false when they try to give and have no means to give. No one but the living ECK Master is the divine channel for these gifts of God." pg. 125

"He who seeks to keep his life shall never have it. But whosoever loses his life in the love of the Mahanta shall have it in eternity. And whosoever shall give of his material life to the ECK shall have it thricefold returned unto him in spiritual blessings. No man with riches shall enter into the Kingdom of God, for he shall leave them on earth with his temple of flesh and both shall rot away into oblivion." pg. 126

" . . . the living ECK Master is the only one who truly knows what Soul is." pg. 126

"In order to understand the living ECK Master, stop talking, stop thinking, stop analyzing him and his worldly actions, and then you will understand all things. If the chela will look for the Light and Sound within the living ECK Master, all things will be revealed to him." pg. 128

"Within the visions of the SUGMAD are the followers of ECKANKAR who in some way or other betray the living ECK Master." pg. 132

[The living ECK Master]"knows how each will end his life upon this earth, whether he will stray from the path or will be critical, upset and unhappy with the Master and whether he will betray the Master during his sojourn as an ECK chela." pg. 132

"The living ECK Master knows everything about the chela as well as his reactions to the tests and trials given him. The Master is never surprised when a chela leaves, giving up in a quandry and unhappy becaue the Mahanta has not given him the desires of his heart. He knows the suffering that each chela may have during these periods when separated from the living ECK Master." pg. 132

"The Mahanta is not concerned with what either the chela or the public thinks about him. He expects misunderstandings to arise or the masses to attack him, and he knows that some chelas, regardless of how much love is poured upon them, will betray him because of their lack of self- honesty." pg. 132

"Those who quarrel with the principles of ECK, or the knowledge of whom and what the living ECK Master is to this world, had best examine themselves." pg. 132

"When one tries to correct the Master's works by suggestion or argument he should take interest in what he is doing rather than accept these extremes. Often the living ECK Master establishes certain forms of speech or written phrases which baffle the chela completely. But if the chela is open to what is being said, there is nothing which is perplexing. These are the tests of the ECK Master to see what the chela will take. If the chela accepts it for what it is then the test is passed. It does not matter how the word is given as long as it is given out to the chelas." pg. 133

"No one can get his release from the net of karma without the living ECK Master." pg. 118

"Until the chela becomes an initiate in the works of ECK he is unable to know and understand that he is the slave of Kal Niranjan." pg. 119

"The ECK which can be perceived by those who are not chelas is only a shadow of IT." pg. 121

[The chela]" . . . must never weaken nor waver in his love or loyalty to the SUGMAD and the living ECK Master." pg. 113

"No man can reach God practicing any path except devotion to the SUGMAD through the Mahanta." pg. 114

"There is no one else on earth but the Mahanta who can and will utter the Word which liberates the chela and puts an end to his uncertainty. He is the only one who can release Soul from Its prison in this world. Otherwise there is no escape . . ." pg. 116

"The chela keeps wondering when he will reach that moment of meeting with God. But it will never come for, if he would realize it, he is already at that moment. Rather, he is at this focal point in eternity for the SUGMAD is always with him, in the form of the living ECK Master . . . God is with him all the time as the living ECK Master, every moment of his life." pg. 92

"Therefore, the chela should recognize that if God is with him, then the living ECK Master is always the presence he experiences constantly. He should understand this and have it written upon his heart, for the Mahanta is the vehicle God uses to reach every Soul who will listen. This should be kept in mind constantly." pg. 92

"The chela must be dedicated to the ECK. Dedication is his greatest asset. He must give this dedication to the Mahanta, the living ECK Master, because he is the only manifestation of God that can be recognized by those in the human state of consciousness. If the chela is not possessed of this quality of dedication and loyalty to the path of ECK, his incarnations are lengthened in this world, and he shall not be able to enter into the next worlds at the end of his present life." pg. 93

"The living ECK Master strives constantly to take the chela out of the earthly games level but he never makes rules or rituals, never lays down laws and proclaims his way to God as the better way, although all know that it is. He knows that all religions are pseudo and in the minority, but never states this in any of his works. He never asks that anyone follow his path and abide by his own conduct and words." pg. 94

"All religions are for the benefit of the leader." pg. 94

 "The world that follows the dictum of the living ECK Master and fulfills his slightest desire, does so only so it can gain for itself." pg. 97

"The living ECK Master embraces all humanity because he is the only channel that can do so." pg. 98

"IF the chela is seeking eternity then he must first look for it within his own orbit. Since the living ECK Master is in this circle of being that is the personal and universal self of the chela, then the latter must seek it with the living ECK Master." pg. 99

"The Mahanta is not only the living ECK Master, but a living example of the philosophy of ECKANKAR, the high priest and a fountain of knowledge for ECK. He is one who knows divine law, government of the heavenly worlds, and the workings of the human mind and Soul, as well as the art of spiritual healing, magic, prophesy and miracles." pg. 101

"Yet on the opposing side all the power of God must reach these worlds through the perfect instrument of the Mahanta, the living ECK Master. There is no other way, for he is the distributor of the power." pg. 101

"When the ECK Master's position is attacked by revolt, or by dissatisfaction among the followers of ECK, he will defend himself. Not in the way many would expect, but in ways that few can recognize. The defense will always come from the inner planes, and by means of the ECK. Those who revolt or become dissatisfied cannot bring about any attack upon the living ECK Master or his position in life. If they do, there is always the swiftest of retribution, which is not always recognized by the receiver nor those who might have observed the occasion." pg. 101

"Those who are the children of ECK are the sons and daughters of the divine Sound Current. They are the heroic people of their age and they could suffer at the hands of the orthodox who wish to keep the doctrine of the ECK from spreading." pg. 101

"If the Mahanta bestows gifts upon the solicitor, then he is the most fortunate of the fortunates for it means that he basks in the favor of the living ECK Master, and seeks nothing further in life. He has met and found the true Vi-Guru, and must now start his spiritual journey to God." pg. 91

"All Souls struggling to find their way to the true path of God--the way of ECKANKAR--will eventually seek out the living ECK Master." pg. 92

"All world religions . . . are materialistic in nature and worship the wrong power, the wrong God. Unless a religion has for its basic teaching the living ECK Master, the Sound Current and the Light, it will not have longevity. Few, if any religions have such elements in their teachings." pg. 91

"No man comes to the SUGMAD except through the Mahanta." pg. 91

" . . . to make promises which knowingly are false, is to annul one's advancement on the spiritual path." pg. 91 [The Mahanta, the living ECK Master] "is stronger than any man in intellect or spirit, for he has unlimited power, yet this strength is combined with the noble virtues of the humble and gentle. All people find in him inspiration for the development of noble character . . . he is the greatest religious leader on earth." pg. 81

" . . . therefore, all who wish the truth of ECK must follow the Mahanta, the living ECK Master. The SUGMAD cannot instruct, or give man the needed help on the upward path, without the Mahanta in human form to act as his instrument and spokesman . . . only the living ECK Master can offer the chela a definite method by which he can prove all things to himself." pg. 83

"It is not possible to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven except through the teachings of ECKANKAR." pg. 83

"However, the ECK initiate of the Second Circle will rise above any of these lower worlds upon the decease of the physical vehicle. He will enter into the Atma world at once, escorted by the living Mahanta . . . however, if any Soul who is a chela or initiate leaves the path of ECK for another way to the heavenly worlds . . . he must expect his karma to be extended. His karmic burden increases as he gathers more, going through incarnation after incarnation searching blindly for what he has given up . . . no one but the living Mahanta can take him out of this plane of matter." pg. 83

"Woe be to him who tries to travel another path of religious doctrine or spiritual works while at the same time a chela of the living ECK Master . . . if he becomes an initiate in ECKANKAR there shall be no wavering from the path unless he wishes an adverse life and falling into disgrace." pg. 84

"Those Souls which follow the beckoning finger of Niranjan to organized religion shall take the wrong turn of the road. None but the living ECK Master, who has descended to the worlds of matter to give all Souls an opportunity to return to Heaven, is capable of offering this opportunity. All others are false prophets and shall not be heeded." pg. 44

"The sweet whispers of this negative genius [Kal] are heard in the voices of those who make claims to be the prophets of the times and the preachers, clergy and priests who represent the old orthodox religions." Pg. 44

"Never talk of achievements in ECK, for this brings only disaster to the chela." pg. 45

"Every Soul is liberated from the material worlds upon Initiation by the Mahanta, who has been granted this power by the SUGMAD . . . the uninitiated are those who have not received liberation through Initiation from the Mahanta. Baptism will not fulfill the necessity of liberation. Neither will the joining of any cult, religion or faith. Only the living ECK Master has the power to initiate Souls and take them to the regions of light." pg. 57

"Unless the chela believes in the Mahanta, has faith in the ECK, and trusts the SUGMAD--completely--he has spent his time worthlessly." pg. 57

"Those who cease to believe in the Mahanta must pay the price. The payment is in accord with their degree of capability. Since the inner Master is only the vehicle for the SUGMAD, all persons who are followintg the path of ECK must look to him as the representative of the ECK power on Earth. " pg. 58

"The ECK Master establishes miraculous power in the chela when they meet for the chela's last incarnation in the Earth world." pg. 58

"The final goal of good karma is to bring the chela to the living ECK Master and to learn the true path to the SUGMAD. This is the very highest reward of good karma, assuring the chela of his liberation from the Wheel of the Eighty-Four." pg. 59

"The highest form of belief is faith-belief in the SUGMAD . . . 'believing is not believing,' so says the Lord of Lords to all Souls who descend into the ashcan of the universes." pg. 64

"After this death of the physical vehicle, the Atma is taken by the living ECK Master to whatever subtle region of the inner worlds he has earned. No Soul that is an Initiate of the ECK will have to account for Its deeds and actions with the lower realm of the Kal world. It is through with all earthly karma and must now begin to work out the karma of its actions on the astral plane." pg. 65

"Only the ECK Masters have reached the fifth state of spiritual development, where they enter into the Atma plane at will. They have gone far beyond this stage and entered into the Anami level with the true Godhead." pg. 66

"The Mahanta is able to be seen by all his chelas simultaneously for he is of the ECK ITSELF. Being the Spirit of all things he is, therefore, capable of giving the secret teachings to all Initiates of ECKANKAR, or to protect and give them the necessities of life. He knows that goes on in the minds of every chela and all people. If he so chooses he knows the thoughts of animals and of every embodiment of life." pg. 67

" . . . the SUGMAD was moved to incarnate ITSELF as the Mahanta, the living ECK Master, and to give the Truth of the path of salvation in simple language." pg. 69

"The agents of Kal, who call themselves Men of God, have concealed and done away with all truly religious scriptures. They have replaced them with the pseudo scriptures, and claim they are the Books of God." pg. 70

"Man loves miracles." pg. 70
