Dada Bhagwan
There are two ways by which one will realize the life’s goal. If we have not met a Gnani Purush, then we should live life in such a way, that we hurt no one. Our highest goal should be to not hurt any living being in the slightest. The other way is if you encounter the Gnani Purush, then you should remain in the Gnani’s satsang. In doing so, all your work will be accomplished. All the 'puzzles' will be solved.
Dada Bhagwan

The worldly life means something superficial. When people speak during their interactions, they put a ‘full stop’ there, but no, there should be a ‘comma’ there.

Dada Bhagwan
There is worldly life where there is competition and where there is no competition, there is ‘Gnan’, (true) Knowledge.
Dada Bhagwan
No one has been successful in this ‘race course’. One simply dies of exhaustion from running. ‘We’ (the Gnani Purush, the enlightened one) never take part in this race. ‘We’ would simply tell, ‘Dear Man, I am not capable.
Dada Bhagwan
This is Akram Vignan [Akram Science - the stepless spiritual science of direct realization of the Self]. Once you pull out from the racecourse [competitive worldly life], your 'personality' will shine then. Those in the racecourse will never have personality; not a single person.

God is the Knower and not the sufferer of pain.
Dada Bhagwan

If the ‘effect’ is experienced, [karmic] bondage is created. If one experiences the ‘effects’ alone by himself, the [karmic] bondage will not be sticky. If he involves another person in it, the karmic bondage will be sticky.
Dada Bhagwan

Then there are those who are in the worldly life and yet whose conduct is not in the worldly life at all; such ‘Gnani Purush (the enlightened ones)’ are called, ‘non-worldly’ (asansaari).
Dada Bhagwan
In this world, all that which is on the outside, is also within! Faults that are seen on the outside [in other people] are the very faults that lie within [our own self].

Dada Bhagwan
Whatever the other person sees according to his view-point, you have to accept it. How can we make others accept our view-point?

Nature will forgive those who accept their own mistakes and not blame God for them. When God is not the doer of anything at all, one takes on grave liability by saying that God did it.
Dada Bhagwan
If God were the doer, when will there be an end?! (If) God is the creator and he made us, we become his toys, so that is the end? When will we become liberated? No one is your superior and no one is your ‘underhand’ (subservient to you).
Dada Bhagwan
No one in this world is your boss! Yet people walk around with a perplexed look, thinking ‘someone will take away my things!’ Hey, you are the owner of the whole universe. Who can take away what is yours?

Dada Bhagwan
As long as the egoism is there, how can one attain the true religion?

Dada Bhagwan
One who does not join in with the unfolding karmic effects (karma oodai) is a Gnani (Self-realized), and an agnani (non-Self-realized) cannot indeed refrain from joining in with the unfolding karmic effects.
Dada Bhagwan
Unfolding of karmic effect is self-resulting (swaparinami). Therefore, whatever the unfolding karmic effect does is correct. Do not be obstinate there. The unfolding of karmic effect indeed means that it has come before you to give the result. Why not stop interfering in it?
Dada Bhagwan
Good karmas are an illusion and bad karmas are also an illusion. Despite this, I am not telling you to stop doing good karma. Going from bad to good is a good thing. However, in spite of doing good; the illusion doesn’t go away. True religion begins after the illusion has gone away.
Dada Bhagwan
God says that, ‘Either you tell me that you want only God, or you tell me that you want this worldly life; then I will give it to you.’ Do these people really want God? They actually want a house, they want wife and children.

Then they search to see if they will find a “canteen” (restaurant) or not. They search for such things. But for them God has 'no value'. Should one not search for Him?
Dada Bhagwan
When does the external work improve? It improves when inner peace is attained.

When will final Liberation [Moksha] occur?! It is when your knowledge, your understanding [darshan] becomes mistake-free. You have been stuck because of these mistakes. One says, ‘I am Chandulal. I am the husband of this woman. I am this boy’s father. I am eighty years old’. So many such mistakes are there! There is a series of such mistakes!! Mistake is indeed at the root of all that!!! ‘This’ is the only misunderstanding’ there is, and that is what has obstructed liberation. And through only one understanding there is liberation.
Dada Bhagwan
Every human being makes mistakes, so why should you be afraid? Go to the One who can get rid of the mistakes and tell him, ‘Sir, these are the kind of mistakes I make’, so he will show you the solution.
