Famous Dada Bhagwan Quotes

“When is it considered a true desire of moksha (ultimate liberation)? When it remains a constant stream. But here, in one direction there is a desire for moksha and in the other direction, there are so many desires for worldly things. This creates a “plus-minus” effect and takes away the main desire [for liberation]. A desire must be constant in just one direction, only then will it be realized.”

“Shukladhyan (pure contemplation of the Self, the Soul) is the direct cause for moksha (liberation). Dharmadhyan (auspicious contemplation; to hurt no one, give happiness to others) is the indirect cause for moksh (liberation). Artadhyan (inner mournful contemplation that hurts the self) is a cause for a birth in animal life form (non-human). Raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation that hurts the self and others) is a cause for a life in hell.”

“The main fault is our own, which proves that no one else is guilty. What is the mystery behind this? If Soul does a fault, then it becomes a problem. Soul does not commit any fault. Soul functions as seeing & knowing (observer) which gives rise to body complex (the Complex of intake and output). From that, all these problems arise. And that too does not cause suffering. The belief that, ‘I am this’ causes suffering. No one else is guilty.”

“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.”

“To say, "I did it" is in the form of an 'evidentiary doer' (nimit), it is (to be understood) 'as an evidentiary doer' (nimitbhaav) and it is the unfolding karma (udaykarma) that is making him 'do'. If one lives his entire life by maintaining awareness over just these two statements of 'mine' (Dada), then he has come closer to liberation! He maintains just this much awareness, he leaves these statements 'as they are' and becomes completely alert, then He will indeed become the Self! This is the only real instrument to become a pure Soul (Shuddhatma)!”

“No effort is needed for each and every thing to revert back to its inherent natural state. Effort is required to take it into any other nature [vishesh bhaav]. How much effort is needed to heat water. And what if you have to cool it down? You don’t have to do anything because that (coolness) is indeed its attribute. Similarly the Soul (the Real Self) is moksha-swaroop, by its own inherent nature (liberation is the nature of the Self). Therefore, the Gnani Purush [the enlightened one] through His grace paves the way for you. Moksha is attained by following the Gnani’s Agnas [commandments of the enlightened one], you don’t have to exert any effort for it. Effort gives rise to the worldly life. All these ‘fruits’ you are reaping now are due to all the penance and rosaries you had done.”

“There is no means other than vitrag-science (science that frees us from all attachments) that will give Final-Liberation [Moksha]. Other means [methods, instruments] will cause bondage; they only help to pass the time; [whereas] means to attain the Eternal Thing (experience of Pure Soul) can be attained from the ‘Gnani Purush’ (the enlightened one).”

“The entire path of the Vitraag Lords (the enlightened one) is one of humility (vinaya). The practice of humility (vinaya dharma) begins from Hindustan (India). There are endless practices of humility, starting from putting two hands together (in the gesture of Namaste) to prostrating. And ultimately when one attains absolute humility (param vinaya), he attains moksha (ultimate liberation).”

“There are two types of worldly life: renouncing [tyaag] is a worldly life and family life [gruhasti] is also a worldly life. Those who renounce are constantly in the knowledge of ‘I am renouncing…I am renouncing’. And the family man prevails in the knowledge of ‘I am acquiring…I am taking…I am giving’. But the one, who attains knowledge of the self [soul], will attain liberation (moksha). Where does one acquire Knowledge of the Self? From the ‘Gnani Purush’ [the Enlightened One].”

“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.”
