Spiritual Quotes On support

The sense organs are prevailing within the objects of sensual pleasure. (Vishayo vishay ma varte chhe.) In fact, these people are needlessly expressing egoism. As long as egoism does not depart, people cannot refrain from expressing egoism, can they? When would that egoism leave? It is when its support leaves. What is its support? It is ignorance of the Self (agnan). When does ignorance of the Self depart? It is when the Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) is attained.

Do not do viradhana (go against something that someone reveres) even if it is deemed wrong. If you do not wish to revere it, then don’t. It is the viewpoint of the other person; it is not wrong.

As long as one is taking the support of a spiritual tool (saadhan), he will have samadhi (a blissful state) that is with vikalp (the wrong belief of ‘I am Chandubhai’ and all the relative ‘I-ness’ that stems from it).

If your monetary wealth accumulates naturally and spontaneously, then let it accumulate, but do not lean on it for support.

Therefore, conduct yourself with caution from the beginning so that you are not shaken up during time of painful experiences.

This world stands on the foundation of the relationship between the support and the support-taker. If the support is removed, the support-taker will be released.
