16 Quotes by Dada Bhagwan about Restraint

  • Quote

    When one overlooks Seeing 'what is happening,' it is called asaiyam (a state of lack of control over anger-pride-deceit-greed and attachment-abhorrence). To incessantly See 'what is happening' is the ultimate saiyam (a state free of anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence). The state of these Gnanis (those who are Self-realized) is considered as saiyam.

    Saiyam (a state free of anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence) cannot be attained through egoism. Renunciation can take place through egoism. In renouncing, doership is required, there needs to be a doer of the renunciation.

    Even the Lord has praised the saiyamdhari (One who possesses a state free of anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence). A saiyamdhari is not afraid of death. The devotional viewing (darshan) of a saiyamdhari needs to be done.

    Who are considered as those who live a worldly life (sansaari)? Those who have attachment-abhorrence and anger-pride-deceit-greed (kashays), are all sansaari. Those who do not have a resultant state of control over anger-pride-deceit-greed (saiyam parinaam), are all sansaari. If one is living with queens, but if he has control over anger-pride-deceit-greed (saiyam), then he is considered saiyami whereas the one who renounces worldly life but has no saiyam then even he is considered sansaari.
