Quotes by Dada Bhagwan

To see others’ faults is a terrible mistake!

What is the difference between aradhana (worship) and bhajana (to be one with)? Aradhana (worship) means the attention will go over and over again there, and bhajana (oneness) means continuous engrossment. One is to do aradhana (worship) and bhajana (oneness) for only one’s own Self; everything else will carry on naturally.

All day long, no one is at fault for anything. Whatever faults we see; we see them because of our own defects.

Despise (viradhana) of a Gnani [the enlightened one] creates hindrance in (acquiring right) Knowledge-Vision-Conduct (Gnan-Darshan-Charitra).

One will bother you only if you have a karmic account with him. No one can bother you without your signature (karmic cause). All this is due solely to your signature.

To worship means to go higher. If you join the one who has gone higher, you will go higher and if you speak ill of that person, you will fall down.

In this world, it is not worth finding anyone’s faults. One becomes bound (by karma) by finding faults.

The way in which the twists were entangled to knot up the mind-speech-body and the innate nature (relative self, prakruti), is the manner in which they will be untwisted.

One gets recurrent thoughts about things he had insisted upon and about matters he formed opinions!

Once an opinion is formed, there will be attachment-abhorrence. A person without opinion is also without attachment-abhorrence.

One can give ‘correct’ opinion only if one has an open mind.

Prakruti [the relative self, innate nature] has opinions and may store them but we should stay in an opinion-free state. ‘We’ are separate and the relative self is separate from us. ‘We’ should play our part as a separate entity. We shouldn’t get involved with those problems.

Quarrels and differences of opinions are solely due to a flawed-vision.

When one sees his own faults, he will not have the time to see the others’ faults.

All this has been created from self-fault and self-imagination!

This is one place an opinion has to be made: that this body is a betrayal.

One should become free of mistakes so that there will be no superior over him.

Where there is love, there are no faults. Where the love of give-and-take (dealer) arose, all faults will be seen there.

As many opinions you bound about a person, if you let go of them, you will attain a natural state. For whomever and for whatever matter, you have bound opinions, those opinions will continue to sting you and when you let go of those opinions, you can become natural.

Where there is insistence, there is tenacity and where there is tenacity, there is anguish.
