One is going through life after doing needless egoism, and in the end, he ends up being cremated on the funeral pyre; that is the pitiful state he is in! Moreover, if he is a very good person, he may get sandal-wood for cremation; but that it is still nothing but wood, right! The One who never dies, He is the truly brave One.
Param Pujya Dada BhagwanThat which lives and dies is the jeev, and that which attains the immortal state is the Atma! The Atma is the Self, whereas that [jeev] is the relative self. The jeev is nothing but a temporary state.
Param Pujya Dada BhagwanNo one has been successful in this ‘race course’. One simply dies of exhaustion from running. ‘We’ (the Gnani Purush, the enlightened one) never take part in this race. ‘We’ would simply tell, ‘Dear Man, I am not capable.’
Param Pujya Dada BhagwanNo one dies in the language of the Gnani (the Self-realized one) and every one dies in the language of the agnani (non-Self-realized person). The agnani (non-Self-realized person) mourns and grieves, and the Gnani simply ‘Sees’.
Param Pujya Dada BhagwanWhen milk pudding is served as per the desire of the mind, the mind dies. But while eating the milk pudding, if the craving to have the same kind of milk pudding again were to arise, then the mind would become alive once again!
Param Pujya Dada BhagwanOne’s own real form is such that It can never hurt any living being even to the slightest extent, nor can It be hurt (avyabaadh Swaroop). Nevertheless, if one takes on the false attribution of ‘I am a snake’ and believing thus, bites the other person, then the other person dies! Just imagine, even that is a wonder, isn’t it! This is because his belief is behind this. Whatever one believes, the corresponding energy manifests. If one has decided, ‘I definitely want to kill this person,’ then such poison will seep in. However, if the energy which corresponds to the belief were to have become completely independent, then all sorts of different things would have happened. However, nature intervenes in this. Against that energy, an opposing energy is naturally bound to arise. So, One (pote, the developing ‘I’) gets entangled in the opposition! Otherwise, One has tremendous energies of His own, One has infinite energies, but the energy is being wasted!
Param Pujya Dada BhagwanThe temporary state (avastha) of the Self has been referred to as a living being (jeev), and that which is permanent is the Self. That which lives and dies is the jeev! That which has the awareness of ‘I want to live’ and also has the awareness of ‘I will die’, that temporary state has been referred to as jeev!
