Quote by Dada Bhagwan

“If sankalp-vikalp (all the relative 'I-ness' and ‘my-ness’ that stems from the belief that ‘I am Chandubhai’) happen, then it can be said that Self-realization has not yet been attained. As one becomes the doer of the sankalp-vikalp, he cannot become nirvikalp (free from the belief that 'I am Chandubhai' and with the right belief that 'I am pure Soul')!”

“What is considered as a vow (vrat)? For this Dada [Gnani Purush], the five mahavrats (great vows of truth, non-possessiveness, non-violence, non-stealing, and celibacy as expounded by Lord Mahavir) prevail at all times! He lives in wordly life yet He prevails in the mahavrats, what must that be like? One in whom pudgal pariniti (the belief that 'I am doing' in what are the results of the non-Self) does not arise at all! Where there is mahavrat, there is no pudgal pariniti. And where there is anuvrat (observance of minor religious vows), there to a certain extent, pudgal pariniti is present and to certain extent, it has also decreased!”

“There are two kinds of negligence (pramaad). Negligence related to worldly matters is referred to as laziness. When applied awareness as the Self does not remain in matters related to spirituality, then it is referred to as spiritual slumber (pramaad). When constant applied awareness as the Self remains, then One is apramatt (in One's inherent state as the Self).”

“Our opinion is, 'Nobody is at fault.' If someone appears to be at fault, then that is our weakness. The fact that you see somebody at fault is indeed your state as the prakruti (with the belief that, 'I am the non-Self complex'). By remaining in the inherent state as the Self (apramatt bhaav) the world will be Seen as flawless and You will experience the kind of bliss that existed during the reign of Lord Rama! One has to come into One's inherent state as the Self (apramatt) permanently!”

“Good evening, Mrs. Grey," Christian says softly. He's standing by the piano, dressed in a tight black T-shirt, and jeans...those jeans- the ones he wore in the playroom. Oh my. They are over washed pale-blue denim, snug, ripped at the knee and hot. He saunters over to me, his feet bare, the top button of the jeans undone, his smoldering eyes never leaving mine. "Good to have you home. I've been waiting for you.”
