Self

"What is the difference between aradhana (worship) and bhajana (to be one with)? Aradhana (worship) means the attention will go over and over again there, and bhajana (oneness) means continuous engrossment. One is to do aradhana (worship) and bhajana (oneness) for only one’s own Self; everything else will carry on naturally."

"If there is true ‘Selfishness,’ then there is ‘liberation of the Self’, and that indeed is one’s own form (the Self)."

"Mirror mirror on the wall, show the real me or naught at all."

"There is no progress (spiritual) in this world like the one that comes from being cheated knowingly. This is a very high principle."

"The one who knowingly gets cheated is entitled to liberation!"

"Is it wrong worldly interaction (avyavahar) when someone insults you? It is (correct) worldly interaction (vyavahar). Gnani (Self-realized person) will be pleased that he has become free from karma bondage, when someone insults Him; while a non Self-realized person will fight back."

"Bhagwan’ (God, Self) and ‘Paramatma’ (Supreme or absolute Self); these two words are spoken. Muslims speak the two words-‘Khuda’ (God, Self) and ‘Allah’ (Supreme spirit, Absolute Self). Allah is used for Paramatma and Khuda is used for Bhagwan."

"One will have to know the Self. Unless Self is known, God [Allah] cannot be attained. The power of Self should be attained. The power of Self is an abode of infinite bliss. There is no unhappiness there at all. This happiness is there even if someone insults you!"

"The path people know, is not the path of liberation. It is the path of the worldly life. The path of liberation is not one of imagination. It is a pure path. Where there are no worries, no externally created problems. There is bliss of the Self (samadhi) amidst all external problems."

"The Gnani Purush simply makes the separation in one’s vision: ‘This is the vision of the Soul, the real Self’ and ‘this is the vision of the worldly self’. Otherwise a person can never make this change in his vision. One’s vision of ‘I am Chandubhai’ (vikalpi drashti) will never become the vision of ‘I am the Pure Soul’ (nirvikalpi drashti)."

"To attain the Self is indeed called the right belief (samkit)."

"When the ‘right belief’ occurs, the world will appear quite different. ‘Right belief’ will take one towards the Eternal (Self), and the ‘wrong belief’ will take one towards the worldly life."

"Humans in this world live based on two things: one is on the basis of the Self and the other is on the basis of the egoism."

"The [true] intellectual is he who does not let harm done to others and nor let any harm done to even one's own self."

"As the Self [Pure Soul], one never dies; it is only the beliefs that die."

"Our people believe in God, don’t they? And they also do secretive acts, don’t they? How can you keep a secret from God [the absolute supreme self within us] that knows all your actions? If you want to realize God, then you cannot do secret acts."

"For how long will insult hurt a person? For as long as he covets self-importance. For as long as one covets temporary [non eternal] things"

"Unless the Self is known, the power of the Self (swasatta) cannot arise."

"When Self (Khuda) is realized, egoism (Aap-khudi) goes away."

"One whose faith (nishtha) is set in God, he is known as Brahma-nishtha (settled in the Self)."
