2,964 Quotes by Dada Bhagwan

The law of sarvaatma (oneness with all living beings) means that everywhere 'I am indeed the one'. In this (world), with whom should I keep differences?!

Except for pure Soul (Shuddhatma), the mind, speech, body, intellect is all subject to vyavasthit (energy that runs the world). It is all scientific circumstantial evidences. With 'This is mine' and 'I am (this)', divisions occurred, and that is why all these difficulties exist, intents of false attribution (aropit bhaav) arose. That is why one missed out on one's own form as the Self (swaroop)!

The main doer is pudgal (the non-Self complex of input and output), whereas atma (the relative self) is an instrumental doer.

By the relative viewpoint (vyavahar), the relative self (atma) is the doer, by the real viewpoint (Nischay) it is the non-doer! Therefore, the pudgal is a non-doer by the relative viewpoint and a doer by the real viewpoint!!

The Self (Atma) has infinite energy, similarly the energy of the non-Self complex (pudgal) is also infinite. It is through the energy of the pudgal that this world is visible. In fact, it is all this pudgal that is visible. The Self cannot be seen anywhere.

In Dada's language, the pudgal has clung to the Self. The Self has not clung onto the pudgal.

The pudgal (the non-Self complex) is a jail for the Atma (the Self).

One will become Parmatma [Absolute Supreme Self] only when he becomes aashrit [having shelter of Pure Soul God within, Self Realized] from being nirashrit [the one without shelter].

Scriptural knowledge is achetan (inanimate; lifeless), nevertheless it still it takes one towards chetan (animate, the eternal pure Soul). And Gnani’s [the enlightened one’s] Knowledge is Chetan [animate]. When one attains the Gnani’s [the enlightened one’s] Knowledge, that Knowledge itself will continue to do all the work.
