104 Quotes About Doership

People ask, ‘Did the soul do all this?’ No, it is only scientific circumstantial evidence. How is that? If you stand in front of a mirror, then even if you do not wish for it, does your reflection not show up “exactly” in the mirror? The soul does not have the power or the ability to walk but due to karmic discharge (of previous lives deeds) it is able to go all the way to the abode of the liberated Souls (Siddha Kshetra).

It is very difficult to know the Living Conscious Self (Soul). What you have known is living non-conscious self. Living non-conscious self means mechanical self. Anger, pride, illusion, greed, attachment-abhorrence, mind-intellect-chit-ego are all mechanical self.

To say both, 'I am doing' and 'I am Knowing' is known as gross ignorance of the Self. You ('Chandubhai') are actually the object to be known (gneya) yet you are considering others to be the object to be known! Become the Knower (Gnata) and then Know the object to be known ('Chandubhai').

Akram (non-sequential) path’ and ‘kramic (step by step) path’ are two different paths. They are the same with reference to Knowledge (Gnan), but the Kramic path is the path of doing and the Akram path is the path of releasing the reins (of doing).

Every living being is driven by his mind; the mind makes him ‘do’ things and till the end of the intellect, there is nothing but botheration. God has no doer-ship in it at all. God has no doer-ship in intellect; His doer-ship is in Knowledge (Knowing) only.

A person is rendering service to others, that is the disposition of the prakruti (relative Self); whereas another person is rendering disservice to others, that too is the disposition of the prakruti. In doing that, there is no individual effort being made by any one person but they believe in the mind that, 'I am doing'; that is the wrong belief (bhranti)!

No one in this world is a ‘doer’. To say that ‘I am doing,’ is egoism. Illusion continues to prevail under the umbrella of egoism.
