Famous Dada Bhagwan Quotes

“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).”

“The Self is kalpswaroop (becomes what it contemplates). If kalpswaroop remains nirvikalp (free from I-ness and my-ness), then it is a parmatma, and if it remains as vikalp (I-ness), then it is sansari (worldly living being). To live as nirvikalp, it is difficult to attain that even in millions of lifetimes. Only when one meets a Gnani Purush (the enlightened one), such a state can be attained.”

“No one, except the Gnani Purush (the enlightened one), can be nirvikalp (free from I-ness and my-ness). Yes, the one who has Gnani’s (enlightened one’s) grace can become nirvikalp. Because he who reveres Nirvikalp (free from I-ness and my-ness) can become a nirvikalp, and one who reveres vikalpi (one with I-ness; wrong belief of ‘I am Chandulal’), he becomes a vikalpi (the one with wrong belief).”

“One who has understood the summary of this world, he has nothing to do (he is free). Otherwise how will he be idle. Even a chartered accountant can get you the summary of books, but who would get you the summary of this world? If ever a Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) is around, he will do that for you. Until one attains the summary (of the world), the world is a puzzle itself.”

“In shukladhyan (Internal state that renders the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul'), entire world begins to be perceived as faultless. In dharmadhyan (absence of adverse internal state of being that hurts the self and others), despite seeing the other person at fault; one will uphold him as being faultless, that is ‘dhramadhyan’. ‘What is the other person’s fault? He is only an evidentiary instrument. It is due to the effect of my own karmas that I have encountered him!”

“Antahkaran (inner complex of mind, intellect, chit and ego) is not made up of four separate parts, it is one. But it takes the form of whatever is at work at a particular time. During the time the mind is working, the antahkaran takes on the form of the mind. Then when the intellect works, it takes on the form of the intellect and when the chit is functioning, it takes on the form of the chit. The ego is always with the intellect; it is never alone.”

“When circumstantial evidences come together, the mind gets involved in thoughts. The one that has the thoughts is the mind. At that time, the chit (knowledge & vision) goes out, if the work is external, or stays and wanders within, if the work is internal. Intellect gives the decision. Intellect then accepts either the decision of the chit or of the mind and becomes one with it. So then ego endorses it and signs off on it. This is how the parliamentary system (of antahkaran) works.”

“The result of the discharging of karma tagged with shukladhyan (Internal state that renders the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’) is moksha (liberation). And the result of discharging of karma tagged with dharmadhyan (absence of adverse internal state of being that hurts the self and others) is tremendous punya (merit karma). It binds punyanubandhi punya (merit karma that binds more merit karma).”

“Weakened anger-pride-deceit-greed (kashays – the ones that gives pain to soul) is called religion and absence of anger-pride-deceit-greed (kashays) is called (True) Knowledge (Gnan). If a religion cannot reduce anger-pride- deceit-greed (kashays), then either the religion is wrong or you are wrong. Religion is the one of the enlightened ones (the Vitraags); how can it be called as wrong?”
