Famous Dada Bhagwan Quotes

“Shukladhyan (internal state that renders the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’) is the direct cause for moksha (liberation). Dharmadhyan (absence of adverse internal state of being that hurts the self and others) is the indirect cause for moksha. Artadhyan (adverse internal state that results in hurting the self) is a cause for a birth in animal life form (non-human). Raudradhyan (Adverse internal state of being that hurts others) is a cause for a life in hell.”

“What is considered as a vow (vrat)? For this Dada [Gnani Purush], the five mahavrats (great vows of truth, non-possessiveness, non-violence, non-stealing, and celibacy as expounded by Lord Mahavir) prevail at all times! He lives in wordly life yet He prevails in the mahavrats, what must that be like? One in whom pudgal pariniti (the belief that 'I am doing' in what are the results of the non-Self) does not arise at all! Where there is mahavrat, there is no pudgal pariniti. And where there is anuvrat (observance of minor religious vows), there to a certain extent, pudgal pariniti is present and to certain extent, it has also decreased!”

“The Soul is indeed such that the mahavrats (five great vows of truth, non-possessiveness, non-violence, non-stealing, and celibacy as expounded by Lord Mahavir) prevail, but these mahavrats should prevail in conduct externally, only then the Soul is considered as complete. It is known as a mahavrat when not a single worldly intent arises at all. It is a very elevated state!”

“The mind performs its function, the intellect performs its function, the ego performs its function; they are all intents of the non-Self, they are not intents of the Self (Atmabhaav). To See and Know the intents of the non-Self is in fact Atmabhaav (the sense as the Self). There are unlimited intents of the non-Self. The world is trapped in the intents of the non-Self indeed.”

“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!”

“What is a ritual? When an enlightened person (Gnani Purush) is not around, when a leader of the path of Moksha (ultimate liberation) is not around, rituals will prevent one from slipping. It is good action. Ritual is not a wrong thing. But in this time era, the root has not been present. All wrong beliefs have set in.”
