Famous Dada Bhagwan Quotes

“The Self is kalpswaroop (becomes what it contemplates). If kalpswaroop remains nirvikalp (free from I-ness and my-ness), then it is a parmatma, and if it remains as vikalp (I-ness), then it is sansari (worldly living being). To live as nirvikalp, it is difficult to attain that even in millions of lifetimes. Only when one meets a Gnani Purush (the enlightened one), such a state can be attained.”

“No one, except the Gnani Purush (the enlightened one), can be nirvikalp (free from I-ness and my-ness). Yes, the one who has Gnani’s (enlightened one’s) grace can become nirvikalp. Because he who reveres Nirvikalp (free from I-ness and my-ness) can become a nirvikalp, and one who reveres vikalpi (one with I-ness; wrong belief of ‘I am Chandulal’), he becomes a vikalpi (the one with wrong belief).”

“How does the Gnani’s (enlightened one’s) antahkaran (the inner component of the mind, intellect, chit and the ego), work?’ If the ‘Self’ (‘I’) moves away, then the ‘Soul’ is separate from the antahkaran. If the Soul becomes separate, then all the worldly activities continue through the antahkaran. After separation, the Gnani’s (enlightened one’s) antahkaran continues to work naturally and spontaneously. Because the meddling stops, therefore the antahkaran’s work is done in the best way possible and only when it is necessary; & becomes beneficial to people.”

“The Gnani’s (enlightened one’s) antahkaran (inner complex of mind, intellect, chit and ego) becomes just like the pure Soul. The chit stops wandering around. The mind, intellect, chit and the ego are constantly present; because of that there is complete awareness, remains vitarag (free from all attachments).”

“What is the state of the antahkaran (inner complex of mind, intellect, chit and ego) of mhts of the Akram path? Meddling has stopped for them, but when effects of the past karmas unfold, they become confused that, ‘these are my effects’. Whereas, when they ask ‘us’, ‘Are they our effects or someone else’s?’ I will tell them, ‘Theses are someone else’s effects.”

“What is the whole world under the control of? Gnanis (enlightened ones) are under the control of the Gnan (absolute knowledge), and the world is under the control of kashayas, meaning anger-pride-deceit-greed. A greedy person is preoccupied in greed kashaya, a proud man in pride kashaya, a deceitful person in deceit kashaya.”

“One who has understood the summary of this world, he has nothing to do (he is free). Otherwise how will he be idle. Even a chartered accountant can get you the summary of books, but who would get you the summary of this world? If ever a Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) is around, he will do that for you. Until one attains the summary (of the world), the world is a puzzle itself.”

“What is a ritual? When an enlightened person (Gnani Purush) is not around, when a leader of the path of Moksha (ultimate liberation) is not around, rituals will prevent one from slipping. It is good action. Ritual is not a wrong thing. But in this time era, the root has not been present. All wrong beliefs have set in.”

“The Soul can be worshipped only after attaining the Soul (Realization of the Self). Worship removes the veils of ignorance (avaran) and one can see more. It all depends on whose worship one is doing. By worshiping the one who has attained the Soul (the enlightened one), namely the Gnani Purush, one can attain the Soul (realize the self).”

“Whatever one’s belief arises, he will find tools corresponding to his beliefs. With the belief of the ‘Self’, there is only one ‘tool’ to acquire the Knowledge of the Self, that tool is the ‘Gnani Purush’ (the enlightened one). Contemplation of the Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) is the very tool with which the Soul will continue to manifest.”

“One has to understand the line of demarcation between the Self and the Non-Self from Gnani Purush (the enlightened one). His explanation holds truth in all three times i.e. past, present and future. The light remains the same, even after hundreds of thousands of years.”

“Is there a Parmatma (Absolute Supreme Soul)? There definitely is, and the Parmatma is within you. Why are you searching for it on the outside? But only if someone opens the ‘door’ for us, can we have the vision of the Parmatma, right? This door has been closed shut in such a way that no one can ever open it by himself. Only the Gnani Purush (Enlightened One), who has become free from all bondage, can help others attain the same.”

“Just as one has encountered a nimit (someone instrumental in a process) to bind him, if he encounters a nimit to set him free, he will set him free without fail. He who is free (from worldly bondage) can free others. One such free man exists once in awhile. Moksha (ultimate liberation) is not rare but a bestower of liberation is very rare indeed.”

“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.”
