Body Complex Quotes

“Who doesn’t allow one to attain the ultimate liberation? The pudgal (non-Self complex made up of mind-speech-body). Similarly, what doesn’t let a gourd that is covered with mud to float atop? It is the mud. Bad ‘parmanu’ (subatomic particles of body complex) weigh very heavily. They drag the Soul (the Self) lower.”

“The mind performs its function, the intellect performs its function, the ego performs its function; they are all intents of the non-Self, they are not intents of the Self (Atmabhaav). To See and Know the intents of the non-Self is in fact Atmabhaav (the sense as the Self). There are unlimited intents of the non-Self. The world is trapped in the intents of the non-Self indeed.”

“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.”

“When can one really say that pudgal (non-Self complex of input and output) is the doer? It is after one attains Self-realization. Otherwise, he would go in the wrong direction. After attaining Self-realization, as one prevails in the Gnani's Agna (five directives that preserve the awareness as the Self in Akram Vignan), only after that is the pudgal considered as the doer of everything, and only then can it be considered that You [as the Self] are not liable. If one were to say this [the pudgal is the doer] without that [Self-realization and prevailing in the Gnani's Agna] then everyone would go on the wrong path.”

“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!”
