"Spirituality [Nischay] means complete truth and worldly interactions means truth to a certain extent."
"What is the essence of Vitrag? Fearlessness!"
"If you want to go to moksha (attain ultimate liberation), you will have to become simple and straightforward. Being obstinate won't work there. You will have to remove all the tubers; become totally free from intellect (abudh)."
"Everyone has excess awareness in one or two things. In everything else, he does have awareness indeed. If one has equal awareness in everything, he will indeed become a Gnani [the enlightened one]."
"All day long, no one is at fault for anything. Whatever faults we see; we see them because of our own defects."
"Moksha (Liberation) is to become free from gathering & dispersing of circumstances."
"Chit impurity is due to the relative vision. When the vision becomes real (enlightened), purification of chit occurs."
"After getting respect, one will get an equal amount of insult, if not in this life then the next. If you taste even the slightest of pleasure from this body-complex [pudgal], you will have to pay back an equivalent amount. Therefore become attachment-free (vitarag)."
"To be unattached in every phase of one's life is indeed full enlightened bliss of the Self (Purna samadhi)!"
"When you see the members of your household as faultless (nirdosh) and see only your own faults, then true pratikraman will be done."
"The Soul's [our true self's] natural form is the absolute supreme Self [Parmatma]. It does not show you 'wrong [doing]', nor does it show 'right [doing]'. When demerit karma effect is unfolding, then one will see the 'wrong' and when merit karma is unfolding, it will show 'right'. The Soul is not the 'doer' in any of this; it continues to 'See' only the vibrations!"
"How far is the Soul from attaining moksha (ultimate liberation)? Only the obstructive (antray) karmas."
"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."
"Grace of the Gnani' [the enlightened one] will take you to moksha [ultimate liberation] and 'Grace of God' will give you worldly happiness. God will not take you to moksha, because God cannot be realized without a 'Gnani' [the enlightened one], can he? He remains hidden."
"One who keeps an 'open mind' will be able to see God!"
"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."
"Where one does not do planning, it is all pure 'discharge'. 'Charge' occurs where there is planning. Discharge is a natural characteristic. There is no pain in it."
"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)."
"God says that the one who does not find the worldly life boring at all, is not worthy of moksha [the ultimate liberation] at all. While earning money one gets bored, while not earning money one gets bored, everywhere one gets bored, then he is considered worthy of moksha."
"Criminal' pompousness will not do, 'civil' pompousness is acceptable."
"One should not be obstinate even in worldly interaction. If you are obstinate with a 'collector', what will he do? He will throw you in jail. So then what will happen if you are obstinate with God? God won't put you in jail, but his happiness upon you will break (will go away)."
"Worldly things (laukik) are perceived through the senses (indriya-gamya). That, which is beyond the world (alaukik), is perceived [through the knowledge which is] beyond the senses (atindriya-gamya)."
"If one maintains the intent of, 'no one should have the slightest difficulty on my account', then his work will be considered to be done."
"One is to cross this ocean in the form of obstinacy. We are standing on this side of obstinacy and we have to go to the other side. If someone becomes instrumental in removing your obstinacy; do not be disturbed about it, consider him to be extremely beneficial and undergo that experience with equanimity."
"Gnani's [The enlightened one's] sangna [directions] is the compass then it will take you to the end of your journey [Moksha, ultimate liberation]. And the worldly people's sangna [directions] is the compass then it will make you wander in the worldly life."
"There should not be opinion regarding anything. Opinion means you are supporting it. 'Know' the wrong as wrong, 'Know' right as right. There should not be any attachment (raag) towards the right, and abhorrence (dwesh) towards the wrong. There is no such thing as right or wrong. Right and wrong is a duality, it is illusionary vision, it is a societal belief. God does not see it that way. In God's view, having a dinner on the table or going to toilet, they are both the same."
"Wherever there is ownership, there is upadhi (externally induced problems)."
"Attachment-abhorrence is the foundation for the worldly life and the foundation for 'Knowledge' is a state free of all attachments (vitragta)."
"Where you don't see pure love, there is indeed no path to moksha [ultimate liberation] there. Where there is a fee, there is no pure love there!"
