"Spoken' words are considered an 'expense'. 'Speech' should not be spent away. Speech is wealth. It should be 'counted' upon spending. Does anyone ever give out money without counting it?"

"There is no means other than vitrag-science (science that frees us from all attachments) that will give Final-Liberation [Moksha]. Other means [methods, instruments] will cause bondage; they only help to pass the time; [whereas] means to attain the Eternal Thing (experience of Pure Soul) can be attained from the 'Gnani Purush' (the enlightened one)."

"Religion is that which becomes the religion and gives results. When can we say it is this way? It is when it helps when someone insults you. It will not let you be affected by it."

"Shukladhyan (pure contemplation of the Self, the Soul) means focused awareness of the eternal form of the Self, the Soul. Dhyan (contemplation or one's focused effort) is a natural thing.

"It is a mistake to believe other person to be estranged. They all are our own Self's-forms. However, that has to be realized, right? To believe the other person to be an alien means giving him a beating and that hurts our own-Self."

"If you say that you have accepted defeat, the world will let you go. 'We' have discovered this. Because, we had tried to win over the world and in doing so, we had to go through many incarnations. And in the end, I said that I have acknowledged defeat and settled down."

"This worldly knowledge is not called (Real) Knowledge. It is worldly knowledge. The scriptural knowledge is known as the instrumental knowledge.

"Here', I am a disciple just as you are. The one you see is not 'Dada Bhagwan'; it is 'A. M. Patel', a Patidaar from the town of Bhadran. The one sitting within is 'Dada Bhagwan'. 'I' myself make everyone do jai jai kar of Dada Bhagwan [sing praise of Dada Bhagwan]. Therefore, 'I' too am a devotee, as are you."

"Egoism's nature is not Moha (Illusory attachment). Moha's (Illusory attachment's) nature is egoism. Moha is the origin of egoism."

"Many preach that do this way, do that way, have faith, speak the truth, have patience. These are all results (effects). How can results be changed?"

"Even if one incurs a loss, he should expose this fact to the other person. This way the intent the other person does, will dispel the [negative] atoms and one will, become lighter himself. Otherwise suffering alone increases the mental burden."

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

"To 'us', nothing except the Soul (Atma) is beautiful, and there is indeed no such thing as bad in this world. Bad is to deviate from one's own 'boundary' (to not remain as the Self)."
