"There is no insistence where there is pure love. Insistence is infatuation (deep attachment)."

"Whatever one does in this world, he does it out of compulsion; so it is indeed our lack of understanding when we scold someone for what they do. If you scold him, he will do it even more. (Instead) You should explain to him with love. All diseases will disappear with love. You will get pure love either from the Gnani Purush [the enlightened one] or his followers!"

Spiritual

"Complete focused applied awareness of the Soul (shuddha upayog) is considered absolute Knowledge (keval gnan)."

Knowledge

"The person who wants to progress on the path of Vitrag (the enlightened ones), should keep the focus of the awareness to progress from the non-auspicious (bad) to the auspicious (good). And if one wants to go to final Liberation [moksha], he should keep 'pure focus as the Self (Soul)' (shuddha upayog). The person, who wants to go to Moksha, should not concern himself with the auspicious (good) or the inauspicious (bad). He should keep them both as the things to be cleared out."

Spiritual

"Only Gnan (Knowledge of the Self) will give liberation. All other instruments (& practices) create bondage."
