Dada Bhagwan
Bhagwan’ (God, Self) and ‘Paramatma’ (Supreme or absolute Self); these two words are spoken. Muslims speak the two words-‘Khuda’ (God, Self) and ‘Allah’ (Supreme spirit, Absolute Self). Allah is used for Paramatma and Khuda is used for Bhagwan.
Dada Bhagwan
What is the one going to Moksha (attaining Liberation) like? He is someone who enjoys only the bliss of the ‘Self’.
Dada Bhagwan

Dada Bhagwan
When they say that, ‘God takes avatar (reincarnates)’ is incorrect. He is known as an avatari when last two or three incarnations (before Moksha) remain. God does not have the ability at all to do karma! Man does not have that ability either. It is due to illusion that he feels ‘I did it’!
Dada Bhagwan
Religion is that which becomes the religion and gives results. When can we say it is this way? It is when it helps when someone insults you. It will not let you be affected by it.
Dada Bhagwan
Is it wrong worldly interaction (avyavahar) when someone insults you? It is (correct) worldly interaction (vyavahar). Gnani (Self-realized person) will be pleased that he has become free from karma bondage, when someone insults Him; while a non Self-realized person will fight back.
Dada Bhagwan
Not doing attachment-abhorrence (raag-dwesh) while experiencing the unfolding of karma is religion.
Dada Bhagwan
Everyone’s unfolding karma will change. To maintain equanimity during the unfolding of karmic effect is the Gnanis’ (Self-realized person’s) duty.
Dada Bhagwan
Egoism does not have eyes of its own. Some days, it sees through the eyes of the intellect (buddhi). However, what will happen if you befriend a blind man?
Dada Bhagwan
There is infinite energy within you. Whatever you think within, that very same thing will happen on the outside! However, here one chases his thoughts and works hard for things and yet nothing happens on the outside, people have incurred so much loss! Kaliyug (the time-cycle with lack of unison of mind, speech and body) is upon us!
Dada Bhagwan
What do the Vitraag Lords say? “I am Chandulal” is a Gneya (that which is to be known) yet one believes himself to be the knower. When the knower comes into the ‘Knowing state (gnata padh) and that which is to be known, comes into the ‘state of being known (gneya padh)’, ‘we’ will call him ‘Jitendriya-Jin’.
Dada Bhagwan
The path people know, is not the path of liberation. It is the path of the worldly life. The path of liberation is not one of imagination. It is a pure path. Where there are no worries, no externally created problems. There is bliss of the Self (samadhi) amidst all external problems.
Dada Bhagwan
The Lord states, ‘What can one do to go to moksha? He can go if he attains the right belief of the Self; or if he attains the grace of the Gnani Purush’.
Dada Bhagwan
When egoism ends, that indeed is called the Absolute supreme Self (Parmatma). Egoism indeed is the illusion.
Dada Bhagwan
If a man keeps on talking negatively and we scold him, what is that tantamount to? It is like kicking the door of a latrine because it smells bad; will kicking it make it smell good?
Dada Bhagwan
To care for others is called humanity.
Dada Bhagwan
If one were to just understand the worldly life and what it is, he would attain liberation [moksha]. The worldly life is ‘relative’. And “All these relatives are temporary adjustments”.
Dada Bhagwan
The Gnani Purush [The enlightened one] always remains untouched in his worldly interactions. Everything will get resolved for us if we go to Him. He shows us what is ‘correct’ and what is ‘incorrect’.
Dada Bhagwan
When everyone in the family is united, when they resolve their issues with each other and unite; it is called vitarag bhav, attachment-free intent. And to disunite is to have raag-dwesh, attachment-abhorrence remain.
Dada Bhagwan
To say ‘I’ where I’ is not - is the greatest illusory attachment (raag).
Dada Bhagwan
If attachment becomes fixed on a 'Gnani' [The enlightened one], then it becomes Real attachment (prashastaraag). It will get one’s work done. It will uproot attachment in all other places. Because the Gnani is Vitarag, attachment-free. Attachment for a Vitarag gives liberation from all the suffering.
Dada Bhagwan
The kashays (inner anger, pride, deceit and greed) that keep one entrenched in the coolness of the worldly life are the very thing that makes one wander life after life.
Dada Bhagwan
All those who are not straightforward (frank and forthright) in this world are full of deception.
Dada Bhagwan
As long as there is greed (desire) for even a single situation, one will have to come back into the world and wandering will continue until then.
Dada Bhagwan
Every human being is indeed unhappy as long as he is not free from kashays.
Dada Bhagwan
The one whose kashays, (inner anger, pride, deceit, greed) are gone is worthy of worship. The absence of inner intent of kashays is indeed Gnani!
Dada Bhagwan
Wherever there is kashay, there is no religion of the Vitarag at all. God does not want one to renounce anything. One needs to become free from kashays. Kashay-free state is considered the religion of moksha, while renouncing is considered religion of the world.
Dada Bhagwan
Where there is kashay, they are all considered heaps of parigraha (worldly possessiveness); whether one is living in the Himalayas or in a cave. Where there is absence of kashays, there is absence of possessiveness; even if one is then living in a palace!
Dada Bhagwan
There should be no restlessness within, no matter what the circumstances. If there is restlessness within, know that the kashays have not left yet.
Dada Bhagwan
Wrong belief is what bites one from the inside. There is no one biting him on the outside.
Dada Bhagwan
If you say that you have accepted defeat, the world will let you go. ‘We’ have discovered this. Because, we had tried to win over the world and in doing so, we had to go through many incarnations. And in the end, I said that I have acknowledged defeat and settled down.
Dada Bhagwan
If only one word of the ‘Gnani Purush’ [the enlightened one] is understood, then your welfare [that which liberates] is done.
Dada Bhagwan
No one in this world is in a position to interfere with you. Therefore, do not find fault with the world; the fault is only yours. These are the echoes of interferences that you had caused. Had you not interfered, there would be no echoes that would hit you.
Dada Bhagwan
The whole world can be explained in just one sentence. ‘What is being discharged (visarjan) is old and what is being charged (sarjan) is new’. If someone is discharging bad behavior but at the same time, has learned from the ‘Gnani Purush’ [the enlightened one]; he would be charging a higher life form!
Dada Bhagwan
Charging [creation of new karma] is under ‘your’ control and discharge [disposal of karma] is in nature’s control. Therefore, if you want to charge, charge positively. Whatever you have charged, nature will not refrain from discharging.
Dada Bhagwan
Discharge [disposal of karma] is in nature’s hands. That’s why there is restlessness. That is why these are the pains of dependency [association]. There are such times man has to face that it becomes difficult for him to pass even one hour.
Dada Bhagwan
Humans in this world live based on two things: one is on the basis of the Self and the other is on the basis of the egoism.
Dada Bhagwan
This world stands on the foundation of the relationship between the support and the support-taker. If the support is removed, the support-taker will be released.
Dada Bhagwan
The worldly life has arisen through the ego. One is indeed free if the ego dissolves. What is the foundation on which the ego stands? It is the ignorance of the Self.
Dada Bhagwan
This whole world is running solely on the foundation of ‘wrong belief’. Why is there suffering in the world? It is because one has acquired the ‘wrong belief’. With the ‘right belief’, there is no suffering at all.
Dada Bhagwan
When the ‘right belief’ occurs, the world will appear quite different. ‘Right belief’ will take one towards the Eternal (Self), and the ‘wrong belief’ will take one towards the worldly life.
Dada Bhagwan
The belief of Gnan (Knowledge of the Self) is known as samkit (Right belief). Ignorant belief is known as mithyatva (illusion).
Dada Bhagwan
To attain the Self is indeed called the right belief (samkit).
Dada Bhagwan
Right knowledge (samkit) means right vision. What does the wrong vision do? It will make one say, ‘this person caused me a loss. This person profited me. That person insulted me. That person hurt me. This person made me happy.’ There is no one out there giving you pain or pleasure! Indeed, it is all within you.
Dada Bhagwan
Anger-pride-deceit-greed; they are the ones giving you pain and only they are your enemies. There is no other enemy out there. There is only a nimit (evidentiary doer) outside. Wrong vision makes you accuse the nimit. When you attain the right belief (samkit), know that you have found the solution.
Dada Bhagwan
The Gnani Purush simply makes the separation in one’s vision: ‘This is the vision of the Soul, the real Self’ and ‘this is the vision of the worldly self’. Otherwise a person can never make this change in his vision. One’s vision of ‘I am Chandubhai’ (vikalpi drashti) will never become the vision of ‘I am the Pure Soul’ (nirvikalpi drashti).
Dada Bhagwan
When ‘my’ and ‘I’ are gone, it is known as a state free of wrong beliefs (nirvikalp)!
Dada Bhagwan
What is the benefit of egoism? It is only through the benefit of egoism that people get their daughters married, get their sons married, walk around as a father and say ‘mine, mine’! The entire world is enjoying the benefit of egoism. The Gnanis (Self-realized) enjoy the benefit of the Self.
Dada Bhagwan
Maya (deceit) means that one cannot see the nature of things as they are but sees them in a different form.
Dada Bhagwan
To imagine the Self where it is not, is called maya (deceit).
Dada Bhagwan
The one who can see all the viewpoints of the world is a savior (tarantaranhaar – one who has attained liberation and graces others with the same).
Dada Bhagwan
As long as the vision is flawed, egoism is evident. Therefore, one has to get rid of the flaws.
Dada Bhagwan
One who keeps an 'open mind' will be able to see God!
Dada Bhagwan
Our people believe in God, don’t they? And they also do secretive acts, don’t they? How can you keep a secret from God [the absolute supreme self within us] that knows all your actions? If you want to realize God, then you cannot do secret acts.
Dada Bhagwan
What is the science of Vitraag (the enlightened ones free of attachment)? [It is that where] If one understands a single word of the Vitarag, there will be no pain. But one has not understood a single word of ‘Vir’, the Vitaraag Lord Mahavir [The 24th Tirthankar]
Dada Bhagwan
When there is no overt [outward] or subtle inner restlessness, it is indeed the state of internal peace. If the chit (inner component of knowledge and vision) concentrates on the external, inner peace breaks down. It is because of the external focus that this world has arisen.
Dada Bhagwan
As the Self [Pure Soul], one never dies; it is only the beliefs that die.
Dada Bhagwan
The intellect shows profit-loss in all worldly things. It shows duality. The intellect is the mother of duality.
Dada Bhagwan
