Quotes by Dada Bhagwan

Why is there inner burning [antar daah, inner suffering] present? Inner Burning [Antardaah] is not dependent/based on merit or demerit karma (paap-punya). Inner Burning [Inner suffering] is indeed present in both suffering producing karmas, unpleasant (ashata vedaniya) as well as pleasant (shata vedaniya). Inner Burning [Inner suffering] is dependent upon the wrong belief.

When the wrong belief [of ‘I am Chandubhai’] goes away, the inner burning [antar daah, inner suffering] goes away. Inner burning is the result of the illusion [of ‘I am Chandubhai’].

As long as you are the owner (‘I am Chandubhai and all this is mine’), the worldly life remains. When does the ownership go away? When the wrong belief goes away.

What is ‘common sense’? (It is that which is) Everywhere applicable, theoretically as well as practically!

A ‘sensitive’ person will not have common sense.

How does ‘common sense’ arise? Through conflicts. During conflicts, if one does not clash with anyone, even if the other person comes clashing with him, he should not clash with him. If one is able to remain this way, ‘common sense’ will arise. Otherwise, whatever ‘common sense’ there is, it too will disappear!

Clashes should not occur whatsoever. Due to conflicts only have the energies diminished. Regardless of what may happen to the body, do not ever enter into conflicts. The body is not going to go away just because someone says so, or if someone casts a curse on it. The body is under the control of vyavasthit [scientific circumstantial evidences].

Enmity [Revengeful Karma] is the main seed of conflict [clash].

When you do pratikraman after conflict, the conflict is erased. When you give rise to new conflicts, the energies that had arisen will disappear again.

If ‘pratikraman’ happens immediately [as the mistake happen], then it will bring one in the state of God (Bhagwan-pad).

One is God himself, [but] for how long does that authority of God last? As long as he speaks the truth, practices non-violence, does not steal, practices celibacy and remains non-acquisitive – till then power of God will remain.

To become God (Khuda) one does not need weapons. One needs to recognize his [True] Self (Khud). The one who knows one’s own Self (khud), is God (khuda).

Sincerity’ and ‘morality’ is the main road to go to God, the rest are the ‘by-ways’.

Sincerity’ and ‘morality’ is the basement of this world.

Sincerity’ and ‘morality’, if you completely (from all angles) learn these two words then everything is completed!

Religion tells you to be sincere to yourself and be sincere to everyone else otherwise you cannot assimilate [attain] religion.

Moral’ means one is free to enjoy only the things that belong to him and those he receives naturally and spontaneously. That is the ultimate meaning of morality.

The man who is not ‘sincere’ to others is not ‘sincere’ to his own self!

If you are only ‘moral’ or only ‘sincere’, even then you will go to moksha!

First live to be ‘sincere’ then ‘morality’ will follow.
