Quote by Dada Bhagwan

“What is the inherent nature of the relative self (pratisthit atma) like? It mimics what it sees, it does not have to be taught anything. Therefore, association should be with a truly (enlightened) person, a spiritually elevated person. And if there is association with bad people, then evil thoughts will arise.”

“To say, "I did it" is in the form of an 'evidentiary doer' (nimit), it is (to be understood) 'as an evidentiary doer' (nimitbhaav) and it is the unfolding karma (udaykarma) that is making him 'do'. If one lives his entire life by maintaining awareness over just these two statements of 'mine' (Dada), then he has come closer to liberation! He maintains just this much awareness, he leaves these statements 'as they are' and becomes completely alert, then He will indeed become the Self! This is the only real instrument to become a pure Soul (Shuddhatma)!”

“As long as one has the awareness that, 'I am the doer,' he has not realized even one fraction of the Self (Atma). The awareness that, 'I am the doer of any of the things,' will not help one to realize the Self.”

“Except for pure Soul (Shuddhatma), the mind, speech, body, intellect is all subject to vyavasthit (energy that runs the world). It is all scientific circumstantial evidences. With 'This is mine' and 'I am (this)', divisions occurred, and that is why all these difficulties exist, intents of false attribution (aropit bhaav) arose. That is why one missed out on one's own form as the Self (swaroop)!”
