Famous Dada Bhagwan Quotes

“When worldly people come into a set discipine (niyam), they are known as yamdhari (one who upholds self restraint). From the moment one holds onto any set discipline, he is considered to have come into self restraint (yam). The tyaagis (ones who have renounced worldly life) are considered to be niyami (one who follows a set discipline) whereas the Gnanis are considered saiyami (One who has no anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence).”

“Where saiyam (a state free of anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence) does not leave a clear impression, there the vitaraag dharma (the religion prescribed by the absolutely realized Self, which is at 360 degrees, is impartial, incorporates all viewpoints, does not hurt anyone else's viewpoint or religion) will not work. Even if soil were to be thrown into your lentil soup, yet you do not lose saiyam, that is referred to as vitaraag dharma. If displeasure is shown on your face, yet closure and inner satisfaction prevails within, then there is no problem. That [displeasure on the face] is considered as a defect of the non-Self complex (pudgal). When such defects of the non-Self complex no longer remain, that is an altogether different matter!”

“The person who wants to progress on the path of Vitrag (the enlightened ones), should keep the focus of the awareness to progress from the non-auspicious (bad) to the auspicious (good). And if one wants to go to final Liberation [moksha], he should keep ‘pure focus as the Self (Soul)’ (shuddha upayog). The person, who wants to go to Moksha, should not concern himself with the auspicious (good) or the inauspicious (bad). He should keep them both as the things to be cleared out.”

“The one with form (sakaar; self) will have to be made formless (nirakaar, Self). The Self is formless. However, opinions about it, reflects the formed state. To have a formed state for that, which is formless, is a contradiction in itself. In order to get rid of the contradiction, one will have to come into the formless intent. ‘We’ (the Gnani) see the formless as formless and we remain in the intent of the formless. To project a shape or form for the Self that is formless is tantamount to chopping off the Self. What a grave mistake is committed!”
