Famous Sri Jibankrishna or Diamond Quotes

“The new definition of God - It has the root in Vedanta. The concentrated form of the whole human race is God. Where does it concentrate? In Vedanta it has the explanation. Where is the universe? It is within the body of every human being. It is the realization of Vedanta. It cannot be proved outside. First comes visualization of Atma or soul, then visualization of universe within Atma. Where Atma is visualized? This occurs within this body. Then it comes that the universe is within this body and again it is outside.”

“If God liberates Himself within the body, then only there will be true liberation. God is in the human body. He liberates Himself like a scent and taking the form of a person attaining Godhood teaches the seer. This person is the God-the-Preceptor. The explanation runs thus: God, with the help of Yoga, through gradual enfoldment and transformations is seen within the human body as bliss and then again through yogas this bliss being concentrated takes the form of a person and teaches the seer yogas.”

“What is the tragic part of the religious world? Nobody had the ideas what is God. If they knew it then there would not be any temple, mosque or church. Only the great Vedic Rishis (sages) conceived it. They understood that man becomes God and so they have not stopped after saying “Tatwamasi Svetoketo” (svetoketo, ‘That art Thou’. Thereafter they said,”you are born to be universal’ (Twam jato bhabasi Viswotamukhah).”

“The gods are immortal and who are saying so? Human beings are saying so. They hoped to become immortal by creating imaginary deities. In Upanishads we see that the Rishis are praying ‘Take me from death to immortality’. They are not praying for the imaginary deities, they are praying for themselves. The Vedic Rishis or sages were also human beings, and so they are praying for immortality of the human beings.”

“The term ‘Grace’ has been explained by people just to fulfill the vested interest. But what is its actual meaning? Thakur (Sri Ramkrishna) has said ‘When God within the body wishes to liberate himself, then there will be actual liberation of ‘Atma’ or ‘Soul’. That means spontaneous evolution of life power. This spontaneous evolution which individual gets is called grace. Otherwise the term ‘Grace’ is an abstract idea.”
