2,964 Quotes by Dada Bhagwan

The ego dies and the ego lives, but people say that ‘I died’. That which takes birth and dies is the ego, and the Soul is in the same place (never changes). Even Pudgal (the non-Self complex) is in the same place. The issue is only of the ego in the middle.

That which reduces ego is considered knowledge of the Enlightened Ones (Vitraagi Gnan). And the ego that is reduced through conduct and rituals is considered to be according to God’s special directives (agna). But (actually) the ego has increased! That is the very misery!

All actions conducted with the falsely projected belief (of ‘I am Chandubhai’) will all be fruitful. Meaning, the fruit will (invariably) come. Whether one gives donation or gives curses; both will bear fruit (without fail).

Any ritual which one does creates bondage. If you want the path of moksha (ultimate liberation), then do not get involved in rituals (or any such activity).

If you want to wander in the worldly life, if you want to remain in action (by being a doer), then put (knowledge of) scientific circumstantial evidences (vyavasthit) aside, but if you want to go to moksha; if you want to become still (by being non doer) then keep (knowledge of) scientific circumstantial evidences with you.

Merit karma (punya) is fruit of action, demerit karma (paap) is also a fruit of action too, and moksha (ultimate liberation) is the fruit of becoming still (becoming a non-doer).

What is punya (merit karma) and paap (demerit karma)? No one runs this world. But still, the circumstances of merit and demerit karma, runs this world.

He who does not get involved in good deeds and bad deeds is an enlightened one (Gnani).

Merit Karma (punya) is a ‘file’ [that which needs to be dealt with, with equanimity], and demerit karma (paap) is also a ‘file’. Merit Karma make one lazy in spiritual progress and demerit karma keeps one in awareness.
