Brahmacharya: Celibacy Quotes

“He himself is ‘Absolute Supreme Soul’ (Parmatma), but he is involved in experiencing things which do not belong to him lawfully, and that is why he is not aware of that. The Lord had said that he does not object to you having three wives, but they must be lawfully yours. Take care of your wife’s mind, and the wife takes care of your mind, and remain alert that karma (deeds) does not increase.”

“On what foundation is the world remaining in existence? It is on the foundation of agnan (ignorance of the Self). Are the activities good or are they bad? No activity is good or bad, but if ignorance of the Self moves aside, then everything will come down. By continuing to develop good habits and removing bad habits, the foundation will not go away. As long as the foundation exists, worldly life (sansaar) will exist. How many things will you keep moving aside? Instead, You [the awakened Self] should move away. On this Akram path, the element (vastu, the Self) itself is made independent (niradhar).”

“There is no need to find a solution. 'You' just have to keep Seeing! Keep Seeing how much the anger has increased, how much it has decreased. As the goal (upey; the Self) has been attained, there is no need to find a solution. By looking for a solution, the Self's function as the Knower (Gnatapanu) goes away, meaning that the real benefit goes away. 'This much tension has arisen, it has increased by this much, now it has gone away;' You have to keep Seeing all these gneyos (objects to be known). Remain as the Knower whereas by finding solutions, mental peace (thandak) will prevail [temporarily].”
