2,964 Quotes by Dada Bhagwan

In this world, who cannot get work done? The one who is the doer (karta).

When circumstance comes together, one says, "I did it." And what about when the cirumstances do not come together?!

The awareness as the doer has not gone, that is why the awareness as the sufferer prevails. That is why the kashays (anger-price-deceit-greed) persist. Once the awareness as the doer is dispelled, the awareness as the sufferer ceases to exist, then the kashays go away.

The one who has nothing left 'to do (karvapanu)', has nothing left 'to suffer' (bhogavvapanu). Karmic bondage is not due to the sufferer (bhokta), it is due to the doer (karta)!

The one experiencing the bitterness is in fact the doer. The doer is itself a vikalp (a false notion of 'I am this').

Where there is 'doing', the absolute Self (Parmatma) does not exist and where the absolute Self exists, there 'doing' does not.

No one is an independent doer of this world, but rather an instrumental doer. No 'wholesale' doer has ever been born. Even the Lord is not the doer of this world. If the Lord were to become the doer, then He would have to become the sufferer!

The 'pure' (shuddha) state is on the opposite shore to the 'auspicious-inauspicious' (shubha-ashubha)state. There is no 'sense of doership' (kartabhaav) there. If one realizes that, 'I am not the doer,' then he can become free.

Your spiritual work will be done if you are attracted to satsang (company of enlightened one), just as one is attracted to a woman.
