Quotes by Dada Bhagwan

During anger, the parmanus (subatomic particles) are fiery and fierce and during greed, there are parmanus (subatomic particles) of attraction towards money.

If you become angry with someone today, it is a discharge kashaya (karma effect of anger-pride-deceit-greed). But in that [discharge karma] your intent is for it, which “charges” a [new] karmic seed.

Getting angry means setting fire to your own wealth.

You will not realize the absolute supreme Self (parmatma) unless the weakness departs. Anger, pride, deceit and greed are the weaknesses.

Understanding spirituality means that every day anger, pride, deceit and greed continue to decrease, will not increase.

Ones liberation begins once he does the darshan of kashaya-free (absence of inner anger, pride, deceit and greed) Gnani purush [the enlightened one]. Who is considered kashaya-free? The one whose state is that where there was no kashaya, there is no kashaya, and there never will be any. The one who is never in the state of the non-Self. Doing darshan of such a One brings ultimate well being.

Doing Kashaya[anger, pride, deceit and greed] means to stumble. If artadhyan (adverse meditation) and raudradhyan (wrathful meditation) occurs, it is called stumbling.

What do worldly (non Self-realised) people do? They feel uneasy the moment a guest arrives. The husband tells his wife, you just show that you are upset, so then he will leave! You get upset or even if you verbally abuse him, the guest will not leave. How can he when it was meant to happen [it is decided]? By getting upset, you are gathering stock (of karma) for the next life, you’ll need something to spend in your next life [won’t you]?

No one should feel hurt by you, you should make everyone happy and leave.

We have to help the one who has fallen, we should not question ‘why did you fall?

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

This [worldly life] is a huge entanglement; every sub-atomic particle of it is an entanglement and it is impossible to break free from it. Which is why the Lord has said, ‘If you encounter a Gnani Purush [the enlightened one], remain with Him’.

Only those with whom you have bound karmic accounts, in the past life, will be able to live with you together.

If in the laukik (worldly life), one attains the vision of alaukik (beyond the world), his work is accomplished.

Everyone in this world perform their ‘duty’. But when one performs the ‘duty’ and he also intimidates [scolds] someone in the process, he will reincarnate in the animal life form. If he carries out his duties with understanding, he will return to the human life form. And if he performs them with humbleness, he will reincarnate into the celestial world.

From the moment you realize, ‘I am the most worthless person in this world’; you become valuable.

One becomes independent (free) from the moment one realizes the principle that, ‘No living being is able to interfere with another living being to the slightest’.

If you try to do that which is not ‘our’ duty [the Self’s duty], it will create interference.

When you do not bother anyone at night, does anyone bother you? No one scolds you at night, do they? During the daytime, you create interferences, and that is why you suffer. Nature’s law is such that not a single difficulty will affect you, provided you do not interfere. All that affects you is your own interferences.

It is certain that if there is someone to hurt you on one side, there is also someone to help you on the other side. Just as you cannot see the one that hurts you, you also cannot see the one that helps you. If the one that hurts you cannot last more than four or five years, neither will the one that helps you.
