Spiritual Quotes

Spirituality is not in the form of rituals; it is, in fact, a perspective (drashti). The people of the world have a worldly perspective, whereas this is a spiritual perspective. After the Gnani Purush (the One who has realized the Self and is able to do the same for others) turns around one's perspective, spirituality can be Seen on that side.

If a stone falls from a mountain and hurts you, people do not say anything to the stone, but if a person ends up hitting you, then people end up creating an uproar! People believe that the person is alive! In reality, both the stone and the person are the same, but people cannot understand that, right?! That verily is Bhagwan’s maya (power or phenomenon of the illusion)! That is exactly what entraps people! The Gnanis (the Self-realized Ones who can help others attain the Self) have referred to that [the apparent person or the worldly entity] as the prakruti (the non-Self complex). There is no Self in it. It is just like a brick wall!

‘Gnani Purush’ (the enlightened one) always remains in the bliss of the Self; and only He can bring us in the bliss of the self. Otherwise no one else can. The One who has swum across (the worldly sea) can help others swim across. How can a drowing man help you swim?

The Gnani’s Agnas (special directives given by the Gnani Purush that sustain the enlightened state after Gnan Vidhi) purify the mind. The Knowledge of One's Real form as the Self will give a satisfactory solution to the mind in any circumstance.

As long as you have not encountered a Gnani Purush (the One who has realized the Self and can do so for others), aartadhyan (an adverse internal state of being that hurts oneself) and raudradhyan (an adverse internal state of being that hurts oneself and others) will arise for you. Any solutions you engage in to prevent yourself from going into these two internal states of being has been referred to as dharmadhyan (a virtuous internal state of being that prevents one from hurting oneself or others), in this era of the time cycle. Otherwise, in this era of the time cycle, dharmadhyan just does not exist. Therefore, whatever prevents you from going into aartadhyan and raudradhyan has been referred to as dharmadhyan.

Worries can come to an end for two types of people in this world. One is the Gnani Purush (the enlightened One, who is free from ego and all worldly attachments, and who can enlighten others) and the other is the one who lives to oblige others.

If your chit (inner faculty of knowledge and vision which takes 'photos' and sees previously registered scenes) is going towards your spouse, then that chit is a worldly chit. If your chit is going towards someone who is not your spouse, then that chit is a waywardly chit. And if your chit is going towards the Gnani Purush (the enlightened One, who is free from ego and all worldly attachments, and who can enlighten others), then you are in the process of attaining the state as the absolute Self!

He who does not get involved in good deeds and bad deeds is an enlightened one (Gnani).

Tendencies of Chit (internal component of knowledge and vision) can become pure in front of God. The easiest solution to purify chit’s tendencies is to associate with a person who has the least amount of desires. And the ultimate solution to make them completely pure is the niddidhyasan (internal visualization) of the Vitaraag (One who is free from attachment and abhorrence). The one whose chit’s tendencies have become pure will keep reminiscing the Gnani Purush (Enlightened one)!

The ocean of worldly life can never be traversed using the worldly perspective. The ocean of worldly life can only be traversed using the Gnani’s (One who is Self-realized and can help others to do the same) perspective.
