104 Quotes About Doership

There are only two things: Circumstances and the Soul. If you become ‘one’ with the circumstances, the worldly life will come into existence. If you become the ‘Knower’ of the circumstances, then you are ‘God’.

A person is not a ‘doer’ in this world. When one believes that ‘I am the doer’ is when the ‘charging’ (of karma) occurs. When one tastes egoistic pride of, “I did this samayik (spiritual introspection), I did these activities,” is when the ‘charging’ occurs. The taste of egoistic pride is very sweet.

Where there is activity, there is egoism; one can’t be free from activity through use of egoism.

One should not be obstinate even in worldly interaction. If you are obstinate with a ‘collector’, what will he do? He will throw you in a jail. So then what will happen if you are obstinate in front of God? God won’t put you in jail, but his contentment towards you will break away.

One will keep on charging new karma as long as there is the awareness of ‘I am the doer’. In the ‘akram-marg’ (step-less, direct path to Self-realization), ‘We’ (enlightened one, Dadabhagwan) dissolve your ‘doer-ship’. The awareness that ‘I am the doer’ goes away and the understanding of ‘who the doer is’ is given. Therefore, the charging (of karma) stops! What is left now? Only the form of ‘discharge’ is left.

When the charging (of karma) stops, the binding of new 'sansar' (worldly life) ends. The state that 'I am the doer' never leaves without a 'Gnani' (Enlightened one).

You’ have to ‘see’ what ‘Chandubhai’ is doing; that is prurshartha (real independent Self effort). What is illusory effort? ‘What inner intent (bhaav) was there and what inner intent was not there’ in whatever is happening is illusory effort. In illusory effort, intent comes in the middle and in the exact, real effort, there is ‘knowing-seeing’.

Whatever consolation you accept, that much penance will be deficient.

Religion will not take you to moksha, science (of spirituality) will take you to moksha. Religion and science are two different things. Religion is all doership, non-religion (sins & wrong doings) is doership too, and science gives rise to non-doership, which leads one to moksha.
