Simple & Effective Science for Self Realization Quotes

“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.”

“The ‘Self’ (Purush) and ‘Relative-Self’ (Prakruti), are two separate things. Self (Purush) is the Pure Soul (Shuddhatma) and ‘Relative-Self’ (prakruti) is ‘pudgal’ (non-Self complex of matter). Pudgal by nature is a complex of input and output; Self (Purush) by nature is Knowledge.”

“The Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) has natural and spontaneous forgiveness (sahaj kshama) even for those worthy of punishment; that forgiveness is naturally there. One does not have to ask for his forgiveness. Where there is natural and spontaneous forgiveness been given, only there people become pure.”

“Gnan (knowledge) of every living being of the entire world exists in a Soul. However, only the Gnan that is able to see the ego and everything as gneya (object to be known) is considered as 'Gnan'. Yet, that is still ansh-gnan (partial knowledge), and is considered as upayog (applied awareness as the Self) from that moment on. Where there is Gnan, there is upayog, either partially or completely.”

“Circumstances can be changed through agnan (ignorance of the Self) and they can be changed to gnan (knowledge of the Self). With agnan, circumstances will bring entanglement, and with gnan, the circumstances will bring solutions. Gnan can itself change circumstances. Is god likely ‘to come down’ and do so?”

“One view says ‘It (the world) was created’ and another says ‘it happened (automatically)’. ‘It was created’ is the worldly view and ‘it happened’ is the view of Absolute Knowledge (Gnan). If we ask those who believe in “someone created”, ‘do you have any independent control over your bowel movement?’ The answer is, ‘No!’ It is all due to scientific circumstantial evidences.”

“Through what has one seen this (AKRAM) Science (stepless path to liberation)? Through pragna shakti (energy and power of the Pure Soul). Knowledge, seen through buddhi (intellect), is helpful in worldly life, but ‘here’ (in the path of Akram science), we will need pure Gnan (Pure Knowledge without the touch of Intellect).”

“Those, who want to go to moksha (ultimate liberation), do not need actions. Those who want to go to the abode of celestial beings (heaven), those who desire worldly happiness, they need actions. Those who want Moksha (Ultimate liberation), they need only Knowledge (Gnan) and the Gnani’s Agna (enlightened being’s directives), only these 2 things are required.”
