Dada Bhagwan Quotes

Every human being is indeed unhappy as long as he is not free from kashays.

~ Dada Bhagwan

The one whose kashays, (inner anger, pride, deceit, greed) are gone is worthy of worship. The absence of inner intent of kashays is indeed Gnani!

~ Dada Bhagwan

Wherever there is kashay, there is no religion of the Vitarag at all. God does not want one to renounce anything. One needs to become free from kashays. Kashay-free state is considered the religion of moksha, while renouncing is considered religion of the world.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Where there is kashay, they are all considered heaps of parigraha (worldly possessiveness); whether one is living in the Himalayas or in a cave. Where there is absence of kashays, there is absence of possessiveness; even if one is then living in a palace!

~ Dada Bhagwan

There should be no restlessness within, no matter what the circumstances. If there is restlessness within, know that the kashays have not left yet.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Wrong belief is what bites one from the inside. There is no one biting him on the outside.

One will have to know the Self. Unless Self is known, God [Allah] cannot be attained. The power of Self should be attained. The power of Self is an abode of infinite bliss. There is no unhappiness there at all. This happiness is there even if someone insults you!

~ Dada Bhagwan

Bhagwan’ (God, Self) and ‘Paramatma’ (Supreme or absolute Self); these two words are spoken. Muslims speak the two words-‘Khuda’ (God, Self) and ‘Allah’ (Supreme spirit, Absolute Self). Allah is used for Paramatma and Khuda is used for Bhagwan.

~ Dada Bhagwan

What is the one going to Moksha (attaining Liberation) like? He is someone who enjoys only the bliss of the ‘Self’.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Unless the Self is known, the power of the Self (swa satta) cannot arise.

~ Dada Bhagwan

When they say that, ‘God takes avatar (reincarnates)’ is incorrect. He is known as an avatari when last two or three incarnations (before Moksha) remain. God does not have the ability at all to do karma! Man does not have that ability either. It is due to illusion that he feels ‘I did it’!

~ Dada Bhagwan

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.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Is it wrong worldly interaction (avyavahar) when someone insults you? It is (correct) worldly interaction (vyavahar). Gnani (Self-realized person) will be pleased that he has become free from karma bondage, when someone insults Him; while a non Self-realized person will fight back.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Not doing attachment-abhorrence (raag-dwesh) while experiencing the unfolding of karma is religion.

Kaliyug (the time-cycle with lack of unison of mind, speech and body) is upon us!

~ Dada Bhagwan

God has said not to create any accounts (karmic). Create accounts (only) if you have the knowledge of the future. Hey! If you want to start an account, then why don’t you account for the possibility that you may die tomorrow?

~ Dada Bhagwan

In reality, those who cheat are indeed the ones who get cheated. Those who are cheated will gain experience and develop (spiritually) in the process. Only money earned dishonestly will be taken away (by nature) from one; rightfully earned money will be put to good use!

~ Dada Bhagwan

There is no progress (spiritual) in this world like the one that comes from being cheated knowingly. This is a very high principle.

~ Dada Bhagwan

Illusion (maya) makes one take birth, illusion makes one get married and illusion also makes one die. But here the condition is that it is not the reign of illusion. It is your own reign. It cannot happen unless you wish for it. Illusion gives the result (effect) of what you had consented to in your past life.

~ Dada Bhagwan

The world is entrapped through uneasiness, not through diseases (illnesses). Diseases (illnesses) are caused by uneasiness. Do the trees get any diseases (illnesses)? Do the crows become paralyzed or have high blood pressure?
