It leaves through the Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) that the Gnani Purush gives. What should the Knowledge of the Gnani Purush be like? It should be science (Vignan). Vignan is animate (chetan), whereas knowledge is inanimate (achetan). The knowledge that is prevailing in the world is achetan. Achetan means that it cannot work on its own from within (kriyakari) whereas this (Knowledge of the Self) is science. Science constantly keeps working on its own, You do not have to do anything. "

― Dada Bhagwan , Brahmacharya : Celibacy

No activity is good or bad, but if ignorance of the Self moves aside, then everything will come down. By continuing to develop good habits and removing bad habits, the foundation will not go away. As long as the foundation exists, worldly life (sansaar) will exist. How many things will you keep moving aside? Instead, You [the awakened Self] should move away. On this Akram path, the element (vastu, the Self) itself is made independent (niradhar). "

― Dada Bhagwan , Brahmacharya : Celibacy
