510 Quotes by Dada Bhagwan about self

  • Quote

    As long as the intrinsic nature of the Self (Swabhaav) has not arisen, has not been experienced, it is indeed the prakruti (the relative self) at play. After the experience of the intrinsic nature of the Self (Swabhaav), one only dwells in the Self.

    Parparinati means results that belong to the non-Self. To believe that which vyavasthit does to be one's own, is referred to as parparinati. To believe the results of the non-Self (pardravya) to be the results of the Self (Swadravya), that is parparinati.

    What is kshayak samkit? There is no awareness as the non-Self (parparinati) whatsoever, only the awareness as the Self (Swa-parinati) constantly prevails!

    We' (Gnani Purush) have Seen the facts as they are, in our Knowledge, and that is what I speak about. There is no superior father figure who binds one. Agnan (ignorance) binds and Gnan (Knowledge of the Self), will liberate. The ignorance that binds is everywhere, whereas the Knowledge that liberates can only be obtained if one comes across a Gnani Purush!

    Vyavasthit (result of scientific circumstantial evidences) has to be kept in your laksha (awareness as the Self). You should not take its support wrongfully. [When] all the efforts are completed and the work gets done; if it [the result] turns out wrong, that is when you should say, "It is vyavasthit."

    Who has the right to say, "Vyavasthit" (result of scientific circumstantial evidences) ahead of time? It is one who does not interfere at all with the attributes of the prakruti (non-Self complex)!!

    One should not interpret 'vyavasthit' (result of scientific circumstantial evidences) as, ‘Nothing is going to happen outside of vyavasthit.’ If we want to say, "[It is] Vyavasthit," then our efforts should be there. It should be our desire to make some effort. Thereafter, whatever efforts vyavasthit makes us do, is correct! The effort [being made] should be sahaj (natural and spontaneous).
