"What is the discovery of the Vitarags, the fully enlightened Ones? It is: 'the slightest violence is the sign of losing. Even the slightest negative thought about someone is the sign of losing. God resides in every living being; how can this hidden fact be known? The Vitarags have called the elemental Self (the Soul), the most hidden element."
Enlightenment


"What spreads the stench of bad conduct? It is the egoism and other 'flaws'."
Ego


"Rather than the one who gets angry, the world is more afraid of the one who does not get angry. Why? When anger ceases, grandeur of authority (pratap) arises. Such is the law of nature. Otherwise there would never be any protection for those who don't get angry. Anger provides protection during one's conduct in ignorance of the self."
Behavior


"The ego dies and the ego lives, but people say that 'I died'. That which takes birth and dies is the ego, and the Soul is in the same place (is always intact). Even Pudgal (the atoms that were charged; which are being discharged in the form of mind, body, speech) is in the same place. The issue is only of the ego in the middle."

"In the ignorant state, there is a 'limit' for good qualities, it is known as the self-pride. Self-serving pride (swa-maan) is the limit of virtues in the realm of ignorance."
Ego


"You have a habit of having an 'underhand', and that is why you get a boss. Otherwise, no one is your boss and no one is your underhand; such is the world."
Behavior


"People will listen to you when you become the 'Embodiment of Love' [Prem Swaroop]. When can you become the 'Embodiment of Love'? When you do not look for laws or rules, When you do not see anyone at fault."
