"Good karmas are an illusion and bad karmas are also an illusion. Despite this, I am not telling you to stop doing good karma. Going from bad to good is a good thing. However, in spite of doing good; the illusion doesn't go away. True religion begins after the illusion has gone away."

"Those who eat what is rightfully theirs, will incarnate as humans. Those who take what is not theirs by right, will incarnate as animals.

"In this life, you only need to do this much: You must know that the other person is instrument (nimit, in bringing you the results of your own karmas) so you must remain silent. Do not let the mind spoil in the slightest. If it does, then ask for forgiveness: 'Dear Instrument! You are simply an instrument. I ask for forgiveness for spoiling my mind.' You have to do only this much! That is the effort [purusharth]!"

"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."

"The kashays (inner anger, pride, deceit and greed) that keep one entrenched in the coolness of the worldly life are the very thing that makes one wander life after life."

"Importance is not in 'discharge' (of karmas) that occurs, but it is in the contemplation (dhyan) within at that time in effect that is important."
