Quote
You will especially not find anyone who speaks bitterly to you. All the 'diseases' [worldly suffering] remains due to the sweetness. Bitterness will remove the disease, sweetness will increase it. Your life should be such that you will not have to listen to bitter words. If however, you have to listen to bitter words, then you should listen to it. It is always beneficial.

Quote
We have to complete both tracks. The track of liberation (moksha) and the track of the relative (vyavahaar; worldly interactions). There should not be the slightest deficiency in the interactions of worldly life. Where there is a deficiency in the relative, there final liberation cannot be attained.

Quote
The worldly knowledge that you have received, do not dispense justice on the basis of that worldly knowledge. I have spoken of 'vyavasthit' (result of scientific circumstantial evidences), dispense justice on the basis of that Knowledge. The basis of worldly knowledge will torment you. If worldly knowledge dispels then worldly life goes. It is with the Knowledge of vyavasthit, that worldly knowledge dispels.

Quote
In the relative, one is the self and in reality, One is the absolute Self! As long as transactions of temporary things are ongoing, until then the self is worldly and when there is no engrossment in worldly life, then One is the absolute Self!

The circumstances of those things which you come across, that is prarabdh (effect of past life karma) while the bhaav-abhaav (like-dislike) that arises from them, that is purusharth (effort that charges karma).

Quote
There are two types of purusharth (effort): one is the purusharth that arises from prarabdh (effect of past life karma), relative effort. The seeds that are sown from prarabdh give rise to relative effort. The second purusharth is the effort that arises after one attains Purush (the Self), real effort. With whatever intent one suffers the effect of past life karma, that intent is bhrant purusharth (illusory effort)!

Quote
Purusharth (effort) is in the form of planning (cause), whereas prarabdh (unfolding of past life karma) is that which materializes as an effect.
