"If one sides with pickpockets by saying, 'what's wrong with what he is doing? He doesn't have any food so of course he'll pick pockets!' Now even when he is not a pickpocket himself, by supporting such actions, he will become a pick pocket in his next life. The poor man, although he makes the mistake in ignorance (in darkness, within), the price he will pay in brightness [that can be seen with 5 senses, the outer world]."

"On what basis does the world continue to exist? It is due to the fault of 'apratikraman' (the mistake for which pratikraman was not done)."

"It is called as 'discharge' (karma) when one has to do it compulsorily and against his wishes."

"What do the vitarags [the enlightended one] say? If you want to be beaten up, then beat others. If you want to be slandered, then slander someone."

"In reality, those who cheat are indeed the ones who get cheated. Those who are cheated will gain experience and develop (spiritually) in the process. Only money earned dishonestly will be taken away (by nature) from one; rightfully earned money will be put to good use!"

"For infinite lives, one has been wandering around, and once in a while, he will attain a human birth. But there his back will hurt. He will have created obstacles such that he will not be able to eat, even when he is served a plate full of food. This is how it is! So think before you take any steps (before you do anything)."

"As long as parmanus (subatomic particles) match, there is oneness, and then it turns into revenge (vengeance). Wherever there is infatuation, there will indeed be revenge there."

"To run the worldly life, Egoism is not required. To bind [karma] for the next life, Egoism is required. If one doesn't want the bondage for the next life, then also it is possible to conduct the worldly life without egoism. Entire worldly life is in the 'discharge' form. So it will continue to 'discharge' by itself."

"You will always receive what you are equal to."

"Things that you have remained 'sincere' to, those many things you have won. The world has to be won; only then will it let you go to moksha!"

"The whole world can be explained in just one sentence. 'What is being discharged (visarjan) is old and what is being charged (sarjan) is new'. If someone is discharging bad behavior but at the same time, has learned from the 'Gnani Purush' [the enlightened one]; he would be charging a higher life form!"

"Gnani Purush' (the enlightened one) is considered to be the owner of the whole universe. And yet, there is not the slightest egoism in Him. Where there is no authority, there is egoism and where there is authority, there is no egoism. This is the wonder of 'Gnani Purush!' 'Gnani Purush' is the manifest light."

"It is the body-complex that eats and one just does the egoism of 'I ate.' He is not aware that there is another entity. One simply takes on the suffering of another."

"The bigger the 'flat' [apartment], the harder one has to work. If the 'flat' is worth six hundred thousand, then he has to work six times as hard. If it is three hundred thousand, he has to work three times over. One simply has to keep on working hard, doesn't he?"

"The knowledge, which makes you 'emotional', is worldly awareness. True awareness does not make you 'emotional'."

"Things come into your memory even when you don't want them to, that is because 'pratikraman dosh' is pending (mistake for which pratikraman was not done yet)."

"Nothing will be attained from actions of hundreds of thousands of lives. Moksha (liberation) is attained through 'absolute humility' (param vinaya). The 'gates of understanding' are opened with 'absolute humility'. 'Absolute humility' arises only when the ego is dissolved."
