Famous Dada Bhagwan Quotes

“The knowledge of this world is not considered knowledge, it is worldly knowledge. Scriptural knowledge is considered as instrumental knowledge. Knowledge of the ‘ultimate goal’ (to experience Pure Soul) is the (real) knowledge. Scriptures are instruments and the knowledge within the scriptures is also an instrument. Whereas, the knowledge of the Self is the ultimate goal!”

“Knowledge of the non-Self (paudgalik-gnan) is called agnan (ignorance). Knowledge of the Self is called atma-gnan (realization of the soul). To attain pure knowledge of the Self (The Soul), both, paudgalik-gnan (knowledge of the non self) and atma-gnan (knowledge of the self), are necessary.”

“When one has not known anything but becomes infected with the ‘disease of knowing’; he is a grave diseased person. What is the result of knowing? One stops playing with the ‘tops’ [living as the relative-self] and starts playing with the Self [lives in the realm of the Self, The Soul]. The diseased one simply does the ego of knowing.”

“What is saiyam? It is a state in which One remains unaffected by the effects of both, upsarga (externally induced suffering) and parishaha (internally induced affliction). And if one were to get affected, then One would simply continue to Know the effect but would not suffer (vedey) the effect. And even if he were to suffer the effect, He would still simply Know it; that is known as saiyam.”

“The Soul’s [our true self’s] natural form is the absolute supreme Self [Parmatma]. It does not show you ‘wrong [doing]’, nor does it show ‘right [doing]’. When demerit karma effect is unfolding, then one will see the ‘wrong’ and when merit karma is unfolding, it will show ‘right’. The Soul is not the ‘doer’ in any of this; it continues to ‘See’ only the vibrations!”

“The danger lies in how your ‘surplus time’ is spent. If the ‘surplus time’ is spent for one’s own Soul, then it is (like) watering your own farm, but when it is used for other things [other than one’s own self], it is wasted water. Therefore, anyone whose ‘surplus time’ is spent on the Self, all his time is considered to have gone towards one’s own Self [The Soul].”
