Jagad Guru Speaks

¿Quién soy?

When you close your eyes and watch your thoughts, it is the mind that you, the self, are viewing, not the brain. The stream of mindstuff (the stream of thoughts, feelings, and so on) is all within the mind. The mind, not the brain, is the storehouse of memory.

Science of Identity Foundation - Jagad Guru Speaks
The mind is the seat of all material desires.

Jagad Guru Chris Butler

Your body is yours—but it is not you. The body is a garment that you are wearing, a machine that you are using, a vehicle that you are driving. The body is your possession.

Jagad Guru Chris Butler - Science of Identity Foundation

Diplomacy and duplicity, which are opposites of sincerity, do not get a person anywhere in spiritual life. Science of Identity Foundation - Jagad Guru Speaks

Economic and spiritual well-being can and must go hand in hand. A yoga master is not against material prosperity or development, but sees it in the correct context. He is not against any knowledge that can lead to economic development, but neither does he believe that such material prosperity will bring complete satisfaction to the people. Therefore he is offering the science of the soul to the educators with the humble but firm request that they please add it to their curriculum.

It is unfortunate that people are attracted to the beauty of this world that is not real – it shrivels and dies.

When beauty is reflected through things in this world, it is but a reminder that there is real beauty of a lasting nature.

Everyone is suffering. Everyone experiences birth, disease, old age and death. Everyone experiences fear, loneliness, emptiness, confusion, mental agitation, and heartache. Yet a fool, despite the fact that he keeps getting his teeth kicked in, never thinks twice about the whole thing. An intelligent person sees he is suffering and wants to know why. He thus becomes motivated to seek a solution to the problems of life. He seeks liberation. That is the beginning of spiritual life.

People cannot remain as materialistic, selfish people and have peace and harmony in the family, society or world.

Science of Identity Foundation - Jagad Guru Speaks
There can never be harmony if we live like animals. We cannot have the consciousness of animals and yet have the peace of humans.

Jagad Guru Chris Butler


For the world to be peaceful, we have to be peaceful within ourselves.

Jagad Guru Chris Butler

Since no amount of sense gratification is ever enough to satisfy us, we always feel we need “more.” From the poorest person to the richest person, from the slum-dweller to the person who lives in a mansion, everyone wants more sense gratification and thus more material wealth. If you are poor, you feel you need a color TV to be happy; if you’re rich, you feel you need a new yacht. No amount of material wealth is ever enough.
