“This ‘good’ and ‘bad’ that we see; are the states of the body complex, the non-Self (pudgal). Do not separate them into ‘this is good’ and ‘this is bad’. Such distinctions have been made by, those believing in dualities. These dualities are vikalps (intellectual ideas; contrary thoughts; not reality). The nirvikalpi, one with awareness of the Self, sees both the good and the bad as vibhavik avastha, as states of the non-Self.”

“There are two types of worldly life: renouncing [tyaag] is a worldly life and family life [gruhasti] is also a worldly life. Those who renounce are constantly in the knowledge of ‘I am renouncing…I am renouncing’. And the family man prevails in the knowledge of ‘I am acquiring…I am taking…I am giving’. But the one, who attains knowledge of the self [soul], will attain liberation (moksha). Where does one acquire Knowledge of the Self? From the ‘Gnani Purush’ [the Enlightened One].”

“This [worldly life] is nature’s mysterious puzzle. No one has become free from it. And those who did become free, did not stay back to tell others. I failed [fell short] in achieving ‘Kevalgnan’ [360 degree enlightenment of the soul] so I am here to tell you, so take care of you and get your work done (of moksha - salvation). This is indeed yours. ‘We’ are just here to make you accomplish your task.”
