Famous Dada Bhagwan Quotes

“We' (the Gnani Purush) are neither indifferent (nispruha) nor are 'we' with inclination (saspruha) We are saspruha-nispruha. 'We' have indifference towards your worldly matters and 'we' have interest in matters regarding of your Soul (Atma).”

Life Self Self Realization Indifferent

Author:Dada Bhagwan

“The Self (Atma) is itself in the form of Science (Vignan swaroop). That is why it indeed Sees science everywhere. There is no problem in getting married, but it is ignorance of the Self (agnan) when you differentiate 'this is mine' and 'that is yours'. To say 'I' in all places is science, and to do egoism is ignorance of the Self.”

Soul Self Egoism Self And Non Self Spiritual Science

“Who has the right to say, "Vyavasthit" (result of scientific circumstantial evidences) ahead of time? It is one who does not interfere at all with the attributes of the prakruti (non-Self complex)!!”

“Liberation is not possible even after a million lifetimes. Your work [of liberation] is getting done only because you have met a living Gnani Purush. The absolute Gnani is One for whom nothing in this world remains to be known. He is constantly conversing with the absolute Self (Parmatma); such a Gnani can do whatever he wishes!”

“The self contained within the scriptures will not do. The real Self is needed, One that is incomprehensible, One that cannot be inscribed in the scriptures, One that is indescribable, inexpressible. Where words do not reach, where the vision cannot reach, there lies the Self! That Self prevails in an absolutely untainted state, it indeed prevails in a state free from association!”

Soul Self Scriptures Knowledge Of The Self

Author:Dada Bhagwan

“To say that Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) is exactly the same as that other knowledge is considered as speaking contrary to fact (viradhana). Knowledge of the Self is [real] Knowledge and no matter how much 'light' there is in ignorance (agnan; relative knowledge), yet it is still ignorance. To refer to ignorance as Knowlege would be deemed as speaking contrary to fact about Knowledge!”

Self Ignorance Knowledge Of The Self

Author:Dada Bhagwan

“By prevailing in ignorance [of the Self], worldly life gets charged. By prevailing in the Knowledge of the Self, worldly life discharges!”

Self Ignorance Knowledge Of The Self Charge Karma Discharge Karma

Author:Dada Bhagwan

“The body is the eater. The eater does not Know and the Knower does not eat. Actions are carried out by another element (partattva) and the Knower is the element of the Self! The one who steals and the one being robbed are both the non-Self (anatma)!”

Self Knowledge Of The Self Pudgal

Author:Dada Bhagwan

“A guru helps one traverse worldly life. The Gnani gives liberation. The Gnani has himself become the real form as the Self (Atmaswaroop) despite having a physical body.”

“I am Chandubhai’ (name used by Dadashri to refer to the relative self) is indeed an illusion, and the karma charges because of this illusion. When does the charging of new karma stop? It happens when one attains exact realization of ‘who I am’.”

There is natural and spontaneous forgiveness (of the enlightened one) since the last two or three lives. There is pure love in natural and spontaneous forgiveness.”
