"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."
2

2
"The whole world dislikes kashays (inner weakness of anger-pride-deceit-greed) and yet, all the kashays of the world are done willfully. One doesn't like to be angry and yet he claims anger is necessary."

2
"Meditation is simply awareness without any effort, an effortless alertness; it does not need any technique. But your mind is so full of thoughts, so full of dreams, so much of the past, so much of the future-it is not here and now, and awareness has to be here and now. The techniques are needed to help you to cut your roots from the past, to cut your dreams from the future, and to keep you in this moment as if only this moment exists. Then there is no need of any technique. After Shiva's Vigyan Bhairava Tantra, in these five or ten thousand years, nobody has developed a single method. The cathartic methods are simply to throw all your impatience, your speediness, your hurry, your repressions."
2
"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."
2
"Criminal' pompousness will not do, 'civil' pompousness is acceptable."
2
"The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it's not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person--without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other."
2
"If money is spent in the wrong way, then 'control' the spending and if the money is spent in the right way, then 'decontrol' the spending."
2
"Nothing in this world is 'by chance'. There are "covered causes (hidden) within. 'By chance' is also the result of an effort."
2
"There is always a choice. Always. So do not say, you had no choice. Good or bad, doing it or not, is about you, not choices. Always."
2
"Half your life is spent in thinking of the past and the other half in thinking about the future. The journey never begins. Either you roam around the byways of your memory, which is a dead dream, or you wander in your imagination which is a dream of the future, which is still to come. You are divided in these two. The present is in the middle, and that is where life is " but you miss it!"

2
"In saying the word 'Sachchidanand' [sat-chit-anand, eternal knowledge and vision leading to bliss], it has great 'effect'. There is an 'effect' even when it is said without the understanding [of it's meaning]. When it is said with the understanding, there is tremendous benefit. Saying these words produces vibrations and everything churns. Everything is 'Scientific'."
2
"You have to be grateful to existence that it has chosen you to be a passage for a few beautiful children. But you are not to interfere in their growth, in their potential. You are not to impose yourself upon them. They are not going to live in the same times, they are not going to face the same problems. They will be part of another world. Don t prepare them for this world, this society, this time, because then you will be creating troubles for them. They will find themselves unfit, unqualified."
2
"Eternal joy arises by living in the 'permanent room'. Living in the 'temporary room' gives temporary joy."

"Actions do not need to be changed, just change your vision."
2
"Besides the Self [Soul], what is everything else? It is all worldly interactions (vyavahar). And worldly interaction is dependent on the non-Self (parashrit). Because people believe the non-Self dependent state (parashrit) to be Self-dependent (swashrit); you too believe it to be so. How can a disease leave once it has set in? This worldly disease has increased into a chronic disease! How can one become free from it? If one attains the 'science', he can be free!"

2
"The one whose ego of doer-ship in the unfolding karma effect (oodai no garva) is gone, he is said to have attained the Self."

"There are two types of spiritual practices. One spiritual practice is done to attain the final goal (experience of pure Soul) and the other type of spiritual practice is done for the sake of doing the spiritual practice. The practice that is performed with the intent of attaining the final goal is the last, final type of spiritual practice."
2
"There is no place for beggary [wanting things from others] in the current era. The law of vyavasthit [scientific circumstantial evidences] is such that one who has decided never to beg, will never have situation to beg."

The awareness that 'I am the doer' goes away and we give the understanding of 'who the doer is'. Therefore, 'charging' (of karma) stops! What is left now? Only the 'discharge' is left."
