415 Quotes About Circumstances

Being the ‘Knower’ of the unfolding karmic effect will result in resolution and being the ‘enjoyer’ of the unfolding karmic effect will result in suffering. In fact, unfolding karmic effects do not belong to the Self.

All the circumstances are natural whilst the tranquility is our own [the Self's]!

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.

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).
