01Undated

Infinite knowledge, infinite vision, infinite energy of the Soul is in the same state even today. The Soul has never been a sinner. The Soul is absolutely pure.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

02Undated

To know ‘who I am and who I am not’ is called Absolute knowledge (Gnan).

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

03Undated

Without ‘Gnan’ (True Knowledge of the Self), desire(s) will not go away.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

04Undated

Acceptance of ignorance (of reality) is the true knowledge path.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

05Undated

Who is the ‘mother’ of ‘Knowledge (Gnan)’? It is ‘Understanding’ (samaj). Where can ‘understanding’ be acquired from? It is acquired from Gnani Purush (The Enlightened one).

06Undated

Due to your merit karma, your efforts will bring you success and when the merit karma is expended, your efforts will bring in losses.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

07Undated

From the time one gets married he tries to improve his wife, but neither of the two improves till death. Instead, if you would have tried to cut vegetables, it would have been done (with success.) So do not try to improve the wife. She may try to improve us [men] but we should not try to reform them.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

08Undated

Business has two ‘children’. One is called ‘loss’ and the other ‘profit’. No one likes the one called ‘loss’, but both are indeed there. They are born together.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

09Undated

Worldly relationships are not true [are not real] it is a ‘business arrangement’.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

10Undated

There is no such thing as relationships in this world. It is really a self-created net. Do these cows-buffalos have any relationships? They don’t have a mother-in-law, no father-in-law...

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

11Undated

The worldly life relationships are that of selfishness. All relationships are relative (temporary). Only the relationship with the Gnani Purush [the enlightened one] is real. He has infinite compassion for you. He has become one with his soul [atma swaroop] and therefore he brings forth all your solutions (and liberates you).

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

12Undated

People with Sweet Relationships [those favoring you, always talk good] with you, will make you stumble.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

13Undated

When people break off relationships, they break them both from the outside and from within. The external spoils because of circumstances, but the inner [inside] must not spoil.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

14Undated

This ‘science’ is prem swaroop (embodiment of love). There is nothing else in love; nothing like anger-pride-deceit-greed are to be found in love. If they are present, till then, love will not be there.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

15Undated

The worldly [spiritual] science is methodic (kramic) in nature; one progresses “step by step”; one has to ascent one step at a time. Whereas this here, is Akram Vignan, a path of step-less spiritual science; it is a science that has arisen after 10 Lac (a million) years. In this path, one travels in only an ‘elevator’. There is no effort to climb stairs here. Thereafter, one is constantly in the uninterrupted bliss of the Self (samadhi). There is constant bliss amidst mental affliction (aadhi), internal suffering (vyadhi) and externally induced affliction (oopadhi).

Dada Bhagwan / quote

16Undated

One with higher 'revolutions' of intellect has a higher power of understanding. He will understand before explanation becomes necessary. Laborers do not have even five 'revolutions' per minute and an intellectual has one to two thousand 'revolutions' per minute. The higher the 'revolutions, the quicker he will understand this ‘Science’ [Akram Vignan].

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

17Undated

There is endless happiness in this world, but provided one knows the science behind it! ‘Science’ can give happiness. You have become disillusioned; the wrong belief has set in and that is why you are unhappy. When the wrong belief leaves and the ‘right belief’ sets in, there is nothing but happiness.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

18Undated

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!

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

19Undated

Religion [Dharma] means to do good for others and non-religion [Adharma] means to hurt others. This is referred to as religion-nonreligion [Dharma-Adharma]. Science is to transcend religion and non-religion.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

20Undated

Puzzles’ are bound to arise for everyone, but how does the puzzle get solved, that much science if people get to know, it is more than enough.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

21Undated

Criticizing anyone is tantamount to criticizing their worship or devotion (aradhana). It is a grave mistake. It is fine if you cannot support someone, but do not criticize them at all. If there is any criticism, then there is no science of the Vitarag Lords [the enlightened ones]; there is no religion there at all, there is no oneness at all.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

22Undated

This ‘Akram science’ does not scorn worldly interaction in the slightest. While living absolutely within it's reality, It does not scorn the worldly interaction. Not scorning worldly interaction is itself a thing of principle.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

23Undated

The whole world has constantly wandered around in ‘negativity’ and died. This ‘Akram’ [science] is a fine ‘positive’ path.

Dada Bhagwan / quote

↗

24Undated

The mind-speech-body’s atoms [indivisible part of matter] are ‘effective’. What does the [spiritual] ‘science’ say? Why do you experience the ‘effect’? You just have to ‘know’ the ‘effect’.
