Life Without Conflict Quotes

“Our opinion is, 'Nobody is at fault.' If someone appears to be at fault, then that is our weakness. The fact that you see somebody at fault is indeed your state as the prakruti (with the belief that, 'I am the non-Self complex'). By remaining in the inherent state as the Self (apramatt bhaav) the world will be Seen as flawless and You will experience the kind of bliss that existed during the reign of Lord Rama! One has to come into One's inherent state as the Self (apramatt) permanently!”

“A doubt that in reality, 'I am not this' has arisen regarding the knowledge of 'Who am I'. From the moment a doubt sets in about the knowledge that one has known up until now, 'we' [the Gnani Purush] Know that the time has come for that knowledge to break! The knowledge over which doubts arise, that knowledge will dissipate. Doubts can never arise over real Knowledge.”

“To first get to know what One's own inherent nature is like, to set the conviction (pratiti) for that, that is known as samkit (right belief of 'I am pure Soul'). Of all the inherent natures [out there], is any of them 'mine' [the Self's]? The Gnani will say, "No." Whether you wiggle your tongue in this or that direction, whether you awaken the kundalini (in yoga, latent female energy believed to lie coiled at the base of the spine) or read the scriptures, there is no Soul in that. It is all pudgal (relative) whereas there is no other [relative] thing present in the Atma (Soul).”

“What is considered as Purusharth (real spiritual effort to progress as the Self)? It is when there is a sense of independence (swatantrapanu), there is Self-dependency (Swa-dhin), there is no dependency on external factors (paradhin). Whereas here, work is only done when other circumstances come together. That which happens subject to scientific circumstantial evidences is prarabdh (an effect of past life karma).”
