Spiritual Quotes On position

A person is rendering service to others, that is the disposition of the prakruti (relative Self); whereas another person is rendering disservice to others, that too is the disposition of the prakruti. In doing that, there is no individual effort being made by any one person but they believe in the mind that, 'I am doing'; that is the wrong belief (bhranti)!

The Vitaraag (absolutely detached) Lords have no opposition. Where there is opposition, where there is holding on to a belief, there the Vitaraag path does not exist.

One’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!

When a person with Self-ignorance (agnani) becomes a ‘collector’ [attains an important position], he becomes intoxicated with that power.

A greater liability is incurred when one opposes. It is not worth opposing at all in this world. Whatever you oppose, you are only opposing your own Self! Therefore, ‘project’ [plan] in such a way that there is no opposition.

If we oppose someone, then he will side with our opposition and he will become stronger in that. Instead, we should not oppose at all. The Lord became free only through a state of absolute detachment (vitaraagata).

Virodh (opposition) is tolerable, but not viradhana (to go against another living being, leading to spiritual descent)!

Virodh (opposition) relates to the non-Self complex, whereas viradhana (to go against another living being, leading to spiritual descent) relates to the Self!

No one in this world is in a position to interfere with you. Therefore, do not find fault with the world; the fault is only yours. These are the echoes of interferences that you had caused. Had you not interfered, there would be no echoes that would hit you.
