Quotes by Dada Bhagwan

When does the external work improve? It improves when inner peace is attained.

When will final Liberation [Moksha] occur?! It is when your knowledge, your understanding [darshan] becomes mistake-free. You have been stuck because of these mistakes. One says, ‘I am Chandulal. I am the husband of this woman. I am this boy’s father. I am eighty years old’. So many such mistakes are there! There is a series of such mistakes!! Mistake is indeed at the root of all that!!! ‘This’ is the only misunderstanding’ there is, and that is what has obstructed liberation. And through only one understanding there is liberation.

Every human being makes mistakes, so why should you be afraid? Go to the One who can get rid of the mistakes and tell him, ‘Sir, these are the kind of mistakes I make’, so he will show you the solution.

Nature will forgive those who accept their own mistakes and not blame God for them. When God is not the doer of anything at all, one takes on grave liability by saying that God did it.

If God were the doer, when will there be an end?! (If) God is the creator and he made us, we become his toys, so that is the end? When will we become liberated? No one is your superior and no one is your ‘underhand’ (subservient to you).

No one in this world is your boss! Yet people walk around with a perplexed look, thinking ‘someone will take away my things!’ Hey, you are the owner of the whole universe. Who can take away what is yours?

The one who never rebukes his underhand will have no boss in this world!

Unless the Self is known, the power of the Self (swasatta) cannot arise.

Right knowledge (samikit) means right vision. What does the wrong vision do? It will make one say, ‘this person caused me a loss. This person profited me. That person insulted me. That person hurt me. This person made me happy.’ There is no one out there giving you pain or pleasure! Indeed, it is all within you.

Whatever the other person sees according to his view-point, you have to accept it. How can we make others accept our view-point?

For how long will insult hurt a person? For as long as he covets self-importance. For as long as one covets temporary [non eternal] things

Maya (deceit) means ignorance of one’s own Self!

It is considered as conduct when it comes into exact understanding.

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.

The puzzle that is created by seeing the ‘relative’ is called worldly life (sansaar)! It would never be this way had one seen the ‘Real’.

Until the ‘wrong belief’ leaves, we will continue to be robbed.

There is only supreme bliss in the Soul, our True Self. But this bliss is obstructed because of impure inner intents.

If one departs from the bliss of the Eternal, he will come across the happiness that is obtained from the temporary.

Why should one ever get pain? One is the Absolute Supreme Self (parmatma), how can one have any pain? It is the egoism that causes pain and it is also the egoism that suffers the pain! The absolute Supreme Self doesn’t have any suffering!

God is the Knower and not the sufferer of pain.
