Dada Bhagwan

“A person who has the slightest fear of insult cannot be called a “Gnani” [the enlightened one] and a person who desires self-recognition [maan] is not a Gnani [the enlightened one].”

“From the time one gets married he tries to improve his wife, but neither of the two improves till death. Instead, if you would have tried to cut vegetables, it would have been done (with success.) So do not try to improve the wife. She may try to improve us [men] but we should not try to reform them.”

“Worshipping ‘Gnani Purush’ [the enlightened one] is equal to worshiping the Pure Soul and it is indeed same as the worship of absolute supreme Self (Parmatma). And it is the main cause for moksha [final liberation].”

“The worldly life remains [and is not ending and one is not going to moksha] due to the pollution of the mind [bad mind/bad thoughts] and not due to the pollution of the body.”

“One who keeps an 'open mind' will be able to see God!”

“When does one qualify (for moksha)? It is when he never has any conflict in the worldly life.”

“When you ‘oblige’ someone, things will happen according to your wishes, and if you harm someone, things will happen against your wishes.”

“People’s mind becomes their boss and torments them. So what would become of the one who believes he can be the boss [control] of the mind of others?”

“If you are right, no one will bother you in this world. If you do not hurt anyone in this world, or you have no intention of hurting anyone, then no one can hurt you.”

“People remain glued in worldly interactions and that is their mistake. It is because they have become glued, they have to suffer the beating from the world.”

“Everyone’s unfolding karma will change. To maintain equanimity during the unfolding of karmic effect is the Gnanis’ (Self-realized person’s) duty.”

“Every human being is indeed unhappy as long as he is not free from kashays.”

“One creates ownership and then does egoism towards it, that is why suffering arises. No one is a boss/owner of anyone. Whose things and whose goods? However many fishes one catches from the sea, they are his. After he catches them, he gives rise to its ownership, he creates a liability for it.”

“When does one think of God? It is when he gains something from Him, when love for Him arises!”

“Knowledge that leads to restlessness (unsteadiness) is tremendous bondage.”

“Where are you looking for samadhi (enlightened blissful state)? You just come into your own original Self-form of the Soul, final liberation and samadhi are the natural qualities of the Soul!”

“When you give decision that the guilty is not guilty, only then will the guilty become not guilty.”

“That which gives detailed analysis of anger-pride-deceit-greed and puts them aside and doesn’t allow any clashes to occur at home, is known as intellect. It makes one do ‘everywhere adjustment’.”

“The world is the puzzle, itself; but it is always in principle.”

“Man (human life form) is a 'second-hand' quality of the absolute supreme Self (Parmatma, Lord). Man is close to the Lord [absolute supreme Self].”
