The comments I express here are based on Faqir Chand's "Truth Always Wins"

Chapter 1, para 3:
I do not quote scriptures. I explain my personal experiences of physical, mental and spiritual realms in simple language. Until one does go beyond the mental regions, one cannot attain freedom from the duality of good or bad, sin or virtue, joy or sorrow, happiness or grief.
Faqir Chand is not giving out a theory - he is speaking from his own experience. He talks about GOING BEYOND the mental regions. This means going beyond the mind - because the mind is your trap. You LIVE in the mind - it is your mental prison.
para 4: In my view the company of a realized man who has himself won over his mind is indispensable. His company and his words can works wonder for you provided you have faith in him.
Faqir uses the word FAITH - which I can understand in the context in which he uses it. If there is not faith at all - why would a person even listen to someone else? There has to be some kind of faith to even listen. However, that is not the same as blindly following some teaching for decades and continuing to have faith. That is not faith - that is sheer stubborness and the inability to think for yourself.
A Realized person will resonate with something within you - a shift will begin to take place. I disagree with Faqir on a number of points. He goes on to talk about Sadhana and purity of thought and also reaching the state of thoughtlessness or MahaSunn.
Sadhana or 'practise' makes the goal in the future and takes away from HERE and NOW. Thoughts are simply thoughts - All that is required is to let go of the ownership (these are MY thoughts) and let them contuinue instead of trying to 'purify' them which is unnatural and creates duality (good vs bad thoughts).
