Spiritual Quotes

If you want to travel on the path of moksha (ultimate liberation), ‘You’ (the Self) do not have to ‘do’ anything. And if you want to wander in the worldly life, ‘You’ have to ‘do’ everything.

Worldly life is based on ‘action’ and the spiritual life is based on ‘knowing’. One does the action and the other ‘sees’. The ‘doer’ and the ‘knower’ can never be the same, they are always separate. They were separate, they are separate and they will remain separate.

The worldly life is created through lack of understanding and it is destroyed through understanding. The Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) can give all the understanding so then you do not have to read any scriptures.

‘Complete understanding’ is considered ‘Absolute Vision’ (keval darshan) and when it manifests in one’s conduct, it is considered ‘Absolute Knowledge' (keval gnan). ‘Absolute Vision’ is the beginning and ‘Absolute Knowledge’ is the end. ‘Understanding’ is the ‘beginning’ of ‘Absolute Vision’.

Nothing will be attained from actions of hundreds of thousands of lives. Moksha (liberation) is attained through ‘absolute humility’ (param vinaya). The ‘gates of understanding’ are opened with ‘absolute humility’. ‘Absolute humility’ arises only when the ego is dissolved.
