Quotes by Dada Bhagwan

What are dualities? They are what creates the worldly life [sansaar]. And if one attains Liberation [moksha], he will be beyond dualities!

The language for attaining Liberation [moksha] is beyond duality. The language for worldly life is with duality.

In this world, when no dualities affect one, when nothing affects him, and he attains the awareness of ‘I am absolute Supreme Soul (Parmatma)’; one’s well-being [spiritual work] is done.

Once the illusion (branti) goes away, one can see ‘as it is’, and that is why ignorance goes away. When ignorance goes, maya (deceit) goes. Once God’s maya is gone, the solution is found.

Not knowing one’s real Self is the greatest of maya (deceit; illusion). Once this ignorance is removed, the illusion departs.

In nature, there is no pain or suffering neither in the spiritual life nor in the worldly life. The worldly life has become painful due to lack of this understanding. One does not know how to interact in life. He should remain untouched in the worldly life. When one remains untouched in the worldly life, there is no end to the bliss that arises!

The mind is not the one that harasses you, it is the attachment-abhorrence that harasses you. It is because of the attachment-abhorrence that one has memory.

What is the goal of a human being? An Indian person can truly achieve a state of the Absolute Supreme Self [Parmatma, the Lord]. To achieve one’s own Absolute Supreme Self state is the ultimate goal!

The business of imagined pleasure is associated with pain.

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?

How can one become free from the mind? If he lives as if he is dead, then he can become free from his mind.

The Gnanis [The enlightened ones] have said that if one lives as if he is dead, death will never come to him.

The moment one is born, the ‘saw starts cutting’. People consider it as death only when the wood breaks in two pieces [during funeral]. But it was being cut from the very beginning.

To have the inner intent to die early is artadhyan (adverse contemplation) as well as raudradhyan (wrathful contemplation) and to have the inner intent to not die is also artadhyan and raudradhyan.One should disembark when the ‘station’ arrives. Do not have the inner intent to die and also to not die.

How can we afford to live in the world in which one has to die [one day]? We are eternal.

Where there is ‘egoism’, there is no God. Where there is God, there is no ‘egoism’.

Undecided thoughts’ is called the mind. ‘Decided thoughts’ is called the intellect.
