Simple & Effective Science for Self Realization Quotes

“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.”

“What state ‘we’ (the Gnani Purush and the manifest Lord within him) must have seen? ‘We’ have seen the ownership of the universe. When we see the owner of the universe that what is his ‘business’ that business when it becomes your business, then you will attain that state.”

“However long one travels in the wrong direction in the worldly lie, that much of it is egoism. And as that egoism dissolves, one will experience eternal bliss. The Egoism of Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) is gone, and therefore He constantly experiences eternal bliss. He experiences that bliss even when someone swears at him. That is when you feel, ‘Wow! What kind of bliss this is!”

“How does the Gnani’s (enlightened one’s) antahkaran (the inner component of the mind, intellect, chit and the ego), work?’ If the ‘Self’ (‘I’) moves away, then the ‘Soul’ is separate from the antahkaran. If the Soul becomes separate, then all the worldly activities continue through the antahkaran. After separation, the Gnani’s (enlightened one’s) antahkaran continues to work naturally and spontaneously. Because the meddling stops, therefore the antahkaran’s work is done in the best way possible and only when it is necessary; & becomes beneficial to people.”

“One who has understood the summary of this world, he has nothing to do (he is free). Otherwise how will he be idle. Even a chartered accountant can get you the summary of books, but who would get you the summary of this world? If ever a Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) is around, he will do that for you. Until one attains the summary (of the world), the world is a puzzle itself.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“When circumstantial evidences come together, the mind gets involved in thoughts. The one that has the thoughts is the mind. At that time, the chit (knowledge & vision) goes out, if the work is external, or stays and wanders within, if the work is internal. Intellect gives the decision. Intellect then accepts either the decision of the chit or of the mind and becomes one with it. So then ego endorses it and signs off on it. This is how the parliamentary system (of antahkaran) works.”
