Famous Dada Bhagwan Quotes

“This [worldly life] is nature’s mysterious puzzle. No one has become free from it. And those who did become free, did not stay back to tell others. I failed [fell short] in achieving ‘Kevalgnan’ [360 degree enlightenment of the soul] so I am here to tell you, so take care of you and get your work done (of moksha - salvation). This is indeed yours. ‘We’ are just here to make you accomplish your task.”

“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.”

“Who is considered as not living in the sansar (worldly life)? The one who does not have the upayog (applied awareness) of the non-Self. ‘I’ (the Gnani Purush) do not live in the worldly life even for one moment. Moksha (liberation) is attained through the one who does not live in worldly life. What can you not attain through the grace of such a person?”

“There is no means other than Vitaraag Vignan (Science that leads to the absolute state free of attachment-abhorrence) that can give Moksha (ultimate liberation). Other methods will cause bondage and will only help to pass the time. Through Gnani Purush (Enlightened One), one is able to attain the Eternal thing (Soul).”

“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.”

“One's liberation begins once he does the darshan of kashaya-free (absence of inner anger, pride, deceit and greed) Gnani purush [the enlightened one]. Who is considered kashaya-free? The one whose state is that where there was no kashaya, there is no kashaya, and there never will be any. The one who is never in the state of the non-Self. Doing darshan of such a One brings ultimate well being.”

“Those, who want to go to moksha (ultimate liberation), do not need actions. Those who want to go to the abode of celestial beings (heaven), those who desire worldly happiness, they need actions. Those who want Moksha (Ultimate liberation), they need only Knowledge (Gnan) and the Gnani’s Agna (enlightened being’s directives), only these 2 things are required.”
