Dada Bhagwan Quotes

Pure love’ means that it never increases or decreases. If it does not decrease when you curse him and it does not increase when you give him garlands of flowers, it is ‘Pure Love’. ‘Pure love’ is considered Paramatma prem (Love of God). That is indeed true religion.

~ Dada Bhagwan

The ultimate form is the embodiment of love (Premswaroop)! The love of these (so called) lovers (Romeo-Juliet) does not work there. The Love of God (the Lord) is ‘Pure Love’. That which increases or decreases is infatuation [asakti]. There is no increase or decrease in ‘Pure Love’.

~ Dada Bhagwan

The amount of abhorrence that departs, that much of ‘Pure Love’ arises. When abhorrence goes away completely, then Pure Love arises in totality. This is the only way.

~ Dada Bhagwan

I don’t intend to fight with anyone; I have only one weapon of love. I want to win the world with love. What the world calls love, is really worldly love. [True] Love is when even if you curse me, I would not get ‘depressed’ and when you garland me with flowers, I would not become ‘elevated’. In true love, there would not be any changes. Changes can occur in the intent and feelings (bhaav) of the body, but not in ‘pure love’.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Eternal love’ (sanatan sneha) is indeed moksha [ultimate liberation].

~ Dada Bhagwan

Where there is asakti [infatuation], there accusations cannot refrain from happening. That is indeed the nature of asakti [infatuation].

~ Dada Bhagwan

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!

~ Dada Bhagwan

One can become ‘Embodiment of Love’ [Prem Swaroop], only when there is no my-ness [mamata].

~ Dada Bhagwan

The world believes ‘asakti’ [infatuation, attraction of atoms] to be love and (then) become confused. Woman has some work from men and men has some work from women. All this has arisen because of work (expectations). If work does not get completed, all within will complain and form an attack. Not for even a second has anyone become one’s own. Only the Gnani Purush [the enlightened one] will become yours. That is why the Lord has said, ‘Every living being is an orphan’.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Compassion is an ordinary intent that is felt for everywhere in this world and it is the intent that, ‘the whole world is trapped in worldly miseries; how can their miseries be alleviated?

~ Dada Bhagwan

The fruit of worldly love is indeed revenge (vengeance).

~ Dada Bhagwan

As long as parmanus (subatomic particles) match, there is oneness, and then it turns into revenge (vengeance). Wherever there is infatuation, there will indeed be revenge there.

~ Dada Bhagwan

The one who becomes free from all kinds of beggary is bestowed the state of a ‘Gnani’ [the enlightened one].

~ Dada Bhagwan

Only after beggary (bhikh) goes away completely, can one see this world ‘as it is’.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Any type of desire is beggary. One who is without any desire is called ‘Gnani’ [the enlightened one].

~ Dada Bhagwan

Everything in the world has a life span and We (the Self) are without a life span, so how can the two correlate? To make association with those with a life span (mortal), we too have to become one with a life span. And that has created all this fiasco.

~ Dada Bhagwan

By saying ‘this is wrong’, one is selling (wasting away) an invaluable human life!

~ Dada Bhagwan

What do the Vitaraag [the enlightened one] say? ‘If you want to continue to remain in the worldly life, then do what people say, but if you want to attain Moksha [ultimate liberation], then do only what I say, then only you can go to Moksha!

~ Dada Bhagwan

The Lord has said to the worldly people, if someone possesses certain energies, by recalling that person, the same energies will arise within you. If you don’t know how to ask for godly energies, but if you want to jump, then by recalling a monkey and asking for energies from him, you will be able to do so. If you want to bark, you have to ask for the energy from a dog! The Gnani [The Enlightened One] has infinite energies; if you recall Him, you will attain all those energies!

~ Dada Bhagwan

People have unlatched the energies of the worldly self (jiv shakti), but they have not unlatched the energies of Real Self (shiv shakti).

~ Dada Bhagwan

In both pleasant experience producing karma effect (shata vedaniya) and unpleasant experience producing karma effect (ashata-vedaniya), there is indeed a constant inner burning (antardaah, inner suffering). But because one has moorcha (worldly engrossment/fascination due to deluded worldly view), one does not notice it; he remains in a state similar to being unconscious.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Why is there inner burning [antar daah, inner suffering] present? Inner Burning [Antardaah] is not dependent/based on merit or demerit karma (paap-punya). Inner Burning [Inner suffering] is indeed present in both suffering producing karmas, unpleasant (ashata vedaniya) as well as pleasant (shata vedaniya). Inner Burning [Inner suffering] is dependent upon the wrong belief.

~ Dada Bhagwan

When the wrong belief [of ‘I am Chandubhai’] goes away, the inner burning [antar daah, inner suffering] goes away. Inner burning is the result of the illusion [of ‘I am Chandubhai’].

~ Dada Bhagwan

As long as you are the owner (‘I am Chandubhai and all this is mine’), the worldly life remains. When does the ownership go away? When the wrong belief goes away.

~ Dada Bhagwan

What is ‘common sense’? (It is that which is) Everywhere applicable, theoretically as well as practically!

~ Dada Bhagwan

A ‘sensitive’ person will not have common sense.

~ Dada Bhagwan

How does ‘common sense’ arise? Through conflicts. During conflicts, if one does not clash with anyone, even if the other person comes clashing with him, he should not clash with him. If one is able to remain this way, ‘common sense’ will arise. Otherwise, whatever ‘common sense’ there is, it too will disappear!

~ Dada Bhagwan

Clashes should not occur whatsoever. Due to conflicts only have the energies diminished. Regardless of what may happen to the body, do not ever enter into conflicts. The body is not going to go away just because someone says so, or if someone casts a curse on it. The body is under the control of vyavasthit [scientific circumstantial evidences].

~ Dada Bhagwan

Enmity [Revengeful Karma] is the main seed of conflict [clash].

~ Dada Bhagwan

When you do pratikraman after conflict, the conflict is erased. When you give rise to new conflicts, the energies that had arisen will disappear again.

~ Dada Bhagwan

If ‘pratikraman’ happens immediately [as the mistake happen], then it will bring one in the state of God (Bhagwan-pad).

~ Dada Bhagwan

One is God himself, [but] for how long does that authority of God last? As long as he speaks the truth, practices non-violence, does not steal, practices celibacy and remains non-acquisitive – till then power of God will remain.

~ Dada Bhagwan

To become God (Khuda) one does not need weapons. One needs to recognize his [True] Self (Khud). The one who knows one’s own Self (khud), is God (khuda).

~ Dada Bhagwan

Sincerity’ and ‘morality’ is the main road to go to God, the rest are the ‘by-ways’.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Sincerity’ and ‘morality’ is the basement of this world.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Sincerity’ and ‘morality’, if you completely (from all angles) learn these two words then everything is completed!

~ Dada Bhagwan

Religion tells you to be sincere to yourself and be sincere to everyone else otherwise you cannot assimilate [attain] religion.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Moral’ means one is free to enjoy only the things that belong to him and those he receives naturally and spontaneously. That is the ultimate meaning of morality.

~ Dada Bhagwan

If you are only ‘moral’ or only ‘sincere’, even then you will go to moksha!

~ Dada Bhagwan

First live to be ‘sincere’ then ‘morality’ will follow.
