Essential Teachings

The SSG teaches that all of creation, including Satan and the hell-bound souls, must return to the Source from which they emerged. In order to complete the journey back to the Source, we have to live a life that is based upon the principles that have emanated from the Source. If we do not, we will end up going down another blind lane of life that will not lead us back to the Source but keep us trapped within the wheel of Karma.

God has a plan for every aspect of creation and for each individual soul. Therefore, in order to live a life in keeping with the Source, as mentioned above, the SSG teaches that one should not make plans for one’s life according to one’s own ideas and desires or the ideas of others whether they are parents and/or other well-wishers.

Instead one should “Fit into the Divine Plan that God has for each one of us.” Dr. Mehta often said, “Plan not but fit into the Plan Divine.” In order to fit into the Divine Plan, one has to transition from the way of life in which one is, into the Divine Plan for one’s soul. To do that, one has to live according to definite principles that have been revealed by God through various spiritual Masters.

These principles and new ones have been codified through Dr. Dinshah K. Mehta, so that they form a comprehensive system that supports the efforts of spiritual seekers. In its most basic form, SSG teaches that those who wish to fit into the Divine Plan should follow three sets of principles: Seven Principles of Right Surrender, Seven Principles of Karma Yoga and Seven Principles of God Guidance through Force of Circumstances.
