Quote by Dada Bhagwan

“There is only a slight difference between a true vairaagi (one with dispassion for worldly life) and a true Gnani (One who is Self-realized). There isn't a vast difference. There is a vast difference between a Gnani (One who is Self-realized) and an aGnani (one who is not Self-realized).”

“Attachment (raag) is also karmic stock filled in the past life (bharelo maal) and so is dispassion for worldly life (vairaagya). The state of absolute detachment (vitaraagata) is the main thing.

“When worldly people come into a set discipine (niyam), they are known as yamdhari (one who upholds self restraint). From the moment one holds onto any set discipline, he is considered to have come into self restraint (yam). The tyaagis (ones who have renounced worldly life) are considered to be niyami (one who follows a set discipline) whereas the Gnanis are considered saiyami (One who has no anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence).”

“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!”
