Simple & Effective Science for Self Realization Quotes

“Who doesn’t allow one to attain the ultimate liberation? The pudgal (non-Self complex made up of mind-speech-body). Similarly, what doesn’t let a gourd that is covered with mud to float atop? It is the mud. Bad ‘parmanu’ (subatomic particles of body complex) weigh very heavily. They drag the Soul (the Self) lower.”

“A person tastes the sweet pride of doer-ship by saying ‘I did this so well’. The taste of this subtle pride seems to be very sweet. There is suffering with the false imputation (of doer-ship). God is in the state of eternal bliss, and that is indeed the nature of the Self!”

“If a person wants to walk on the path of the Vitrag (Enlightened Ones), he should turn the upayog (applied awareness) from bad to good. And if the person wants to attain moksha (ultimate liberation), he should keep shudha upayog (pure applied awareness as the Self). The person who wants to attain moksha should not get into the intricacy of good or bad, and should keep them both as things to be ‘discharged’.”

“The knowledge of this world is not considered knowledge, it is worldly knowledge. Scriptural knowledge is considered as instrumental knowledge. Knowledge of the ‘ultimate goal’ (to experience Pure Soul) is the (real) knowledge. Scriptures are instruments and the knowledge within the scriptures is also an instrument. Whereas, the knowledge of the Self is the ultimate goal!”

“Knowledge of the non-Self (paudgalik-gnan) is called agnan (ignorance). Knowledge of the Self is called atma-gnan (realization of the soul). To attain pure knowledge of the Self (The Soul), both, paudgalik-gnan (knowledge of the non self) and atma-gnan (knowledge of the self), are necessary.”

“In scriptures, there is knowledge about the different methods, it does not have the knowledge of the ultimate goal (to experience Pure Soul). Gnani (Enlightened One) has the knowledge of the ultimate goal. Knowledge about the goal, which is the Soul, is obtained as a result of Gnani’s grace.”

“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).”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“If you can afford to live in this worldly life, then there is nothing you need to understand further, and if you find the worldly life bothersome then you need to understand spirituality. In spirituality, we need to know the nature of the Self (Soul). When ‘who am I?’ is known then all puzzles will be solved.”

“The one who has egoism and 'my-ness'; the one who believes that “I am the doer,” are all considered to be ‘jiva’ (living beings). And the ones who have realized that “I am not the doer, I am simply the ‘knower and seer’ with the form of eternal-bliss,” is the Soul!”

“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.”
