Spiritual Quotes Quotes

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 dependent upon the wrong belief.

~ Dada Bhagwan

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

~ 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.
