Quote by Dada Bhagwan

“The present (time) is a very subtle thing. On one side there is the past and on the other side there is the future, and in the middle of this, in the subtle part, lies the present. It cannot be grasped by one who is ignorant of the Self (agnani), only a a Self-realized being (Gnani) can grasp it.”

“Each person has a crazy ego within. That crazy ego makes the good appear to be bad. The crazy ego even makes those at home appear to be bad.

“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!”

“When one overlooks Seeing 'what is happening,' it is called asaiyam (a state of lack of control over anger-pride-deceit-greed and attachment-abhorrence). To incessantly See 'what is happening' is the ultimate saiyam (a state free of anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence). The state of these Gnanis (those who are Self-realized) is considered as saiyam.”

“Know this vast world without a shadow of doubt (nihshankpane). Doubts should not arise anywhere. Who is a Gnani? He is the One who has Known the entire world without a shadow of doubt. By following Him closely, if you also Know the world like He does, then a solution will come about. Otherwise, it is not possible to solve this puzzle. This is a difficult puzzle!”
