4,826 Quotes About Self

When one realizes that, 'The Soul is a non-doer,' then one is considered as having attained the right belief of 'I am pure Soul' (samkit).

As long as one has the awareness that, 'I am the doer,' he has not realized even one fraction of the Self (Atma). The awareness that, 'I am the doer of any of the things,' will not help one to realize the Self.

In the state of Gnan (Knowledge of the Self), the Atma (Self) is the non-doer (akarta), in the state of ignorance of the Self, Atma (Self) is the doer (karta).

Whatever is being done, without realization of the Self is nothing but a loss indeed!

The law of sarvaatma (oneness with all living beings) means that everywhere 'I am indeed the one'. In this (world), with whom should I keep differences?!

Except for pure Soul (Shuddhatma), the mind, speech, body, intellect is all subject to vyavasthit (energy that runs the world). It is all scientific circumstantial evidences. With 'This is mine' and 'I am (this)', divisions occurred, and that is why all these difficulties exist, intents of false attribution (aropit bhaav) arose. That is why one missed out on one's own form as the Self (swaroop)!

The main doer is pudgal (the non-Self complex of input and output), whereas atma (the relative self) is an instrumental doer.

By the relative viewpoint (vyavahar), the relative self (atma) is the doer, by the real viewpoint (Nischay) it is the non-doer! Therefore, the pudgal is a non-doer by the relative viewpoint and a doer by the real viewpoint!!

The Self (Atma) has infinite energy, similarly the energy of the non-Self complex (pudgal) is also infinite. It is through the energy of the pudgal that this world is visible. In fact, it is all this pudgal that is visible. The Self cannot be seen anywhere.
