112 Quotes About Worldly-life

The world is existing on which basis? It is the mistake of atikraman (aggression through thoughts, speech or action). There is no problem with kraman (neutral or natural action, actions that do not have any good or bad implications), but if atikraman occurs, then you have to do ‘pratikraman’ for it.

Mine’ and ‘yours’, is interaction of the worldly life. If you like the interaction where the other person is being verbally abusive, then you can do the same. Continue the ‘give-and-take’.

Who is considered as not living in the worldly life? The person who doesn’t have focus on the non-Self. ‘I’ (the Gnani Purush) do not live in the worldly life even for one moment. Liberation (Moksha) is to be found through the one who does not live in the worldly life. What can you not attain through the grace of such a person?

What is the worldly life like? People will cook out the vegetables of you [people will take your benefit]; If a mango is unripe, they will grate and make pickle; If a mango is ripe, they will suck out all the juice and pulp from it. That is why the worldly existence with these people is very difficult. Instead one would fare well even if he were to remain in satsang.
