Famous Dada Bhagwan Quotes

“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!”

“The Self is not what people believe it to be, or what the intellect can grasp. It is immeasurable. Where there is no measure, there is no scale, there is nothing at all that will work here! The Self is such that It can only be Known through the Knowledge of the Self. It is actually only through the Knowledge of the Gnani that the Self can be realized.”

“Dharma (function or properties) of the mind, dharma of the intellect, dharma of the chit, dharma of the ego – when all these dharma and the dharma of the Self (Soul) come into their own dharma (functions); that is known as Gnan (Knowledge of Self). And if we (self) insist upon any one’s dharma; it becomes ignorance (agnan).”

“Scriptures have been written for one to Know. Nothing needs to be done for that which is to be Known. ‘I cannot do it, I cannot do it’ – is the way people have made everything. ‘Ingesting poison kills’ – you only need to know this knowledge, you don’t have to do anything else. The knowledge that comes into action is true knowledge. What good is knowledge that does not manifest in one’s actions?”

“The world is not an impediment, it is your ignorance (of the Self) that impedes you. When does ignorance (of the Self) leave? It leaves through the Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) that the Gnani Purush gives. What should the Knowledge of the Gnani Purush be like? It should be science (Vignan). Vignan is animate (chetan), whereas knowledge is inanimate (achetan). The knowledge that is prevailing in the world is achetan. Achetan means that it cannot work on its own from within (kriyakari) whereas this (Knowledge of the Self) is science. Science constantly keeps working on its own, You do not have to do anything.”

“This ‘Dada’ gives two paths. To those who find happiness in the worldly life, he gives the path of dharmadhyan (auspicious contemplation/to give happiness to others). To those who do not find any happiness in the worldly life; he gives the path of shukladhyan (enlightened contemplation).”

“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.”

“When someone picks the Gnani Purush’s [the enlightened one’s] ‘pocket’, how does the Gnani Purush’’ look at it? “Very well! This amount is now credited to my account”! Money spent for the home is money down the drain. How can anyone ‘see’ this [fact] with the narrow inner intent of ‘mine and yours’? With an all encompassing [broader] intent, one will see ‘as it is’, that is called ‘Gnan’ [Knowledge].”

“We’ (the Gnani Purush, the enlightened one) are by nature, non-interfering. If ‘we’, ourselves are non-interfering, then how can interfering people around ‘us’ can touch ‘us’? All interferences go away in ‘our’ [the Gnani’s] presence. What problems can the one that dwells in the Self [the Soul], have? The worldly life does not hinder the one who dwells in the Self.”
