Spiritual Quotes On worldly life

Just as [after eating] a jalebi (an Indian sweet), tea tastes bland, similarly, it is only after you 'taste' [experience] the bliss of the Self, that the pleasures of worldly life feel insipid. As long as the pleasures of worldly life do not feel insipid, you cannot break free from worldly life!

There are two ways by which the goals of life are determined : If you don't encounter a Gnani Purush (the One who has realized the Self and is able to do the same for others), then you should live in worldly life in such a way that you don't become the cause of misery to anyone. The greatest of all goals to uphold is that no living being should be hurt in the slightest by you. And secondly, if you do happen to directly encounter a Gnani Purush, then you should remain in His satsang (spiritual discourse; company of Self-realized beings). By doing so, all your [spiritual] work will be accomplished. All your [worldly] 'puzzles' will be solved.

Demerit (paap) karma and merit (punya) karma, what are they? God resides within every living being in worldly life, therefore never have even the slightest intent to hurt any living being. Otherwise, as a result of that engaging in that fault, demerit karma will be bound. On the other hand, if you give the slightest of happiness to any living being, or you have the slightest intent to give happiness to any living being, then as a result of giving happiness to the God within, you will bind merit karma.
