Spirituality in Speech
Dada Bhagwan
Top 10 Best Quotes
“You' yourself are the absolute Self (Parmatma), but You have not realized, 'Who you are.' That is why one says, "I am a woman." A woman is in fact a packing, a donkey is a packing, a dog is a packing, everything is a packing. One believes the packing to be One's real form.”
“Who would have power in his speech that gives results (vachanbud)? It is the one who does not have any worldly desires, even though he may not have attained the Self.”
“When one understands that he cannot ‘do’ anything in this world and that everything is vyavasthit [result of scientific circumstantial evidence], and if this has come into his experience; he is said to have attained Self-realization.”
“When one prays to an image of Lord Krishna, it reaches the 'relative'. If one bows down here (at the lotus feet of the Gnani Purush), then it reaches one's own Self (Atma) directly. This is because the vitaraag One (One free from all attachment and abhorrence) does not accept it, does He? It is always such that, wherever there is darshan of both the 'relative' and the 'real', there indeed lies liberation (moksha).”
“When one believes, ‘I know it’, a veil of ignorance arises and it breaks one’s inclination towards spiritual inquiry.”
“Whatever is being spoken by me, it is not ‘I’ (the true self) who is speaking it. It is the “original tape record” that is speaking. Not even for a second, do I become the owner of this speech. That is why solutions for any problem becomes possible.”
“What is to be renounced? The adverse internal state of being that results in hurting oneself (artadhyan) and the adverse internal state of being that hurts oneself and others (raudradhyan). If these two have not been renounced, then nothing at all has been renounced.”
“What can be considered as conduct that is universally accepted (syadvaad vartan)? It is conduct that appears fascinating, it appears to win over people's minds.”
“We' too are carrying out 'our' worldly obligations, but how do 'we' do it? Without the sense of 'I-ness' (aham) and 'my-ness' (mamat)! Dramatically!!!”
“These are peculiar times. It is not worth interfering with anybody. No one knows how to talk nicely! People talk in a way that gives others a 'headache'.”
