Simple & Effective Science for Self Realization Quotes

“Decision that is taken, it is intellect (buddhi) that does it, till then there is the influence of the mind (which gives thoughts). The chit shows you all the attributes of the existence of whatever it sees. Hence is shows gnan (knowledge) and darshan (vision). But the decision of that is made only by the intellect.”

“It is artadhyan (mournful contemplation that hurts the self) to complain and cry about one’s own misery and it is raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation hurting the self and others) to give misery to others. It is dharmadhyan (auspicious contemplation, giving happiness to others) to stop both of these. The tool that helps stop both of these is dharmadhyan.”

“Artadhyan (mournful contemplation that hurts the self) and raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation that hurts the self and others) occur as long as one has not met a Gnani Purush (the Enlightened One). To look for ways to become free from both of these has been called in this time cycle as dharmadhyan (auspicious contemplation that gives happiness to one’s own self & others). Otherwise, there is no dharmadhyan in this current time cycle. Therefore, whatever prevents artadhyan and raudradhyan is called dharmadhyan.”

“One should learn to know one’s own Self. And if one does not know that, then he should know dharmadhyan (auspicious contemplation, to not hurt anyone, to give happiness to others). If one does not know dharmadhyan, then he lost his human birth again. And one will not attain Moksha (liberation) if one does not know ‘that’ (i.e. to know one’s Self).”

“It is considered as artadhyan (adverse internal state that results in hurting the self) only when the mind and the Self (Soul) become engrossed with one another; and also when one does not realize that artadhyan has occurred. And if one realizes that artadhyan has occurred, then it is not called artadhyan; then it is the mind.”

“The result of the discharging of karma tagged with shukladhyan (Internal state that renders the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’) is moksha (liberation). And the result of discharging of karma tagged with dharmadhyan (absence of adverse internal state of being that hurts the self and others) is tremendous punya (merit karma). It binds punyanubandhi punya (merit karma that binds more merit karma).”

“As long as anger-pride-deceit-greed (kashays – the ones that gives pain to soul) have not gone away, one has not attained vitraag’s (the enlightened one’s) religion in the slightest. The religion of the Enlightened One’s (Vitaraag Dharm) means absence of anger-pride-deceit-greed (kashays).”

“If misery results within you, it is artadhyan (mournful contemplation that hurts one’s own self) and when someone suffers from painful result because of you, it is raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation that hurts the self and others). Giving happiness to someone is dharmadhyan. It is dharmadhyan when one is satisfied despite having less worldly comforts.”
