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
The [true] intellectual is he who does not let harm done to others and nor let any harm done to even one's own self.
Dada Bhagwan
The buddhi [intellect] is today’s gain, it is today’s experience! Whereas, akkal [insight, wisdom] is a nature’s gift!
Dada Bhagwan
That which gives detailed analysis of anger-pride-deceit-greed and puts them aside and doesn’t allow any clashes to occur at home, is known as intellect. It makes one do ‘everywhere adjustment’.
Dada Bhagwan
Where there is use of the buddhi [intellect], there is no Moksha [Liberation], and where there is Moksha, there the intellect is not needed. Samaj [Understanding] is needed.
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
To conceal an action is deceit. Even the husband is not aware of the deceit [by wife]. Lying is also deceit.
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. People have put a full stop there. ‘I am Chandubhai’ - there should be a comma there and ‘I am Pure Soul’ – there should be a full stop 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.
Dada Bhagwan
The one who blesses the winner, after having lost himself, will attain liberation (moksha); he will become “complete”.
Dada Bhagwan
If you try to win, you bind (create) enmity, and if you acknowledge defeat, you will be freed from enmity.
Dada Bhagwan
There is only supreme bliss in the Soul, our True Self. But this bliss is obstructed because of impure inner intents.
Dada Bhagwan
If one departs from the bliss of the Eternal, he will come across the happiness that is obtained from the temporary.
Dada Bhagwan
Why should one ever get pain? One is the Absolute Supreme Self (parmatma), how can one have any pain? It is the egoism that causes pain and it is also the egoism that suffers the pain! The absolute Supreme Self doesn’t have any suffering!
Dada Bhagwan
God is the Knower and not the sufferer of pain.
Dada Bhagwan
If you give pain to someone out there, you will start to feel the pain within you! Such is the science of the Vitraags [the enlightened ones]. If you take everyone’s pain for one lifetime, it will make up for losses of infinite lifetimes!
Dada Bhagwan
One, who has passed through one pain, gets the strength to pass through many pains. Then he becomes the expert in passing through the pains.
Dada Bhagwan
Where there is any kind of doer-ship, there is karmic bondage, and where there is knower-ship and inner understanding, there is Moksha [Liberation].
Dada Bhagwan
The mind’s nature is worldly. If someone comes late, the mind will say ‘Why did you come at this wrong time?’ And this will create [bondage with] an iron shackle.
Dada Bhagwan
The Agna, liberating instructions of the 'Gnani' [the enlightened one], purifies the mind. Knowledge of the Self [self realization] will give the mind, solutions in every circumstance.
Dada Bhagwan
If one discloses everything in speech he ‘designs’ in his mind, he will attain Moksha [liberation] sooner. The mind is so restless that it will create whatever design it wants and ruin countless [future] lives.
Dada Bhagwan
This whole world is functioning on the foundation of [karmic] ‘effect’. God has no hand in this. People did not understand this and that is why they put this on God’s head (blamed God).
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
Right understanding is that which finds happiness in the state of unhappiness.
Dada Bhagwan
By doing actions, one will not attain Liberation [Moksha]; through understanding leads one to Liberation. The fruit (effect) of action is the worldly life [sansaar].
