Quote
Whatever actions that are seen in this world, are the discharging of karma that has previously been charged. A person has nothing to do with it. There, he does the egoism that I have done samayik (introspective analysis as Self). One binds karma there, and gets entrapped. He is indulged in the pride of doership there!

Quote
If a person does five samayiks (introspective analysis by being as Self) he will say, ‘I did five’. This is how he will taste the sweet pride of doer-ship. Actually, he should say “it was due to God’s grace that five samayiks were done.” He should not taste the sweet pride of doer-ship.

Quote
Wherever there is ego, meditation (dhyan) does not exist. The inherent nature of the ego is such that dhyan does not exist when the ego is present. Therefore, when dhyan arises it is a resultant state, it is not an activity. Dhyan is the effect that arises from whatever activity the ego does.

Quote
The one who has egoism and 'my-ness'; the one who believes that “I am the doer,” are all considered to be ‘jiva’ (living beings). And the ones who have realized that “I am not the doer, I am simply the ‘knower and seer’ with the form of eternal-bliss,” is the Soul!

Quote
You yourself are in the form of ego. As long as there is ignorance of the Self, you are in the egoism form and after attaining ‘Gnan’ (‘Real’ Knowledge), you become your own real Self (The Soul).

Quote
What is egoism? It is that which runs away from God. As egoism goes on increasing, then stubbornness (aadayee), pride (maan), pride of doership (garva), arrogance (gamand) words are used. Egoism arises the moment one slightly moves away from God.

Quote
The Self (Atma) is itself in the form of Science (Vignan swaroop). That is why it indeed Sees science everywhere. There is no problem in getting married, but it is ignorance of the Self (agnan) when you differentiate 'this is mine' and 'that is yours'. To say 'I' in all places is science, and to do egoism is ignorance of the Self.
