21 " What is worth winning in this world? The three veds (sufferings). The one who has conquered ved (sufferings), he has conquered the whole world. What are the three veds (the sufferings)? The male, the female and the neutral gender. "
― Dada Bhagwan , Brahmacharya : Celibacy
22 " If one abstains in just sex, he will end up being ‘God’. If one becomes immersed in sex, he will go straight to hell. "
23 " The creator of the puzzles is the pudgal (the non-Self complex). Who has Known the puzzle? The Self has. "
24 " To cause terrible harm to one’s own Self is known as ignorance of the Self (agnan). Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) is that which removes all that is detrimental to the Self thus making it completely beneficial to one’s own Self, after which One can indeed attain final liberation. "
25 " Sexuality is not the poison; fearlessness in sexuality is the poison. Therefore be afraid of sexuality. "
26 " To see as, ‘this is a woman’, is a man’s disease, and to see as, ‘this is a man’, is a woman’s disease. There is moksha (liberation) for the one who becomes free of such a disease. "
27 " One begins to be free of the disease (of the sex), from the moment he or she opposes sex. "
28 " The pain that you do not fear, will not come before you at all. Neither do the gansters come, and nor does God. Nothing happens to the one who has let go of fear. "
29 " There is no need to find a solution. 'You' just have to keep Seeing! Keep Seeing how much the anger has increased, how much it has decreased. As the goal (upey; the Self) has been attained, there is no need to find a solution. By looking for a solution, the Self's function as the Knower (Gnatapanu) goes away, meaning that the real benefit goes away. 'This much tension has arisen, it has increased by this much, now it has gone away;' You have to keep Seeing all these gneyos (objects to be known). Remain as the Knower whereas by finding solutions, mental peace (thandak) will prevail [temporarily]. "
30 " When one is attracted towards a woman; it is ‘asakti’ [infatuation]. But when the soul [relative self] gets engrossed into it; that is ‘attachment’ [raag]. "
31 " We come together because of the attraction of the sub-atomic particles (paramanu), due to karmic relationships; that is asakti (infatuation). Because of this asakti [infatuation], we get pushed around. Asakti arises again; when we become anaskata (remain non-attached), that will bring the solution. "
32 " The Knowledge (Gnan) is itself the absolute Self (Parmatma). Gnan (Knowledge) never becomes agnan (ignorance), but the applied awareness changes and that is what is referred to as agnan (ignorance)! "
33 " No matter how many ‘slices’ you make of the relative, would any slice of the Real ever be made? "
34 " A variety of difficulties will come your way. But at the time of difficulty, you will be able to find a ready made medicine (solution) for it. There are all sorts of people for that! "
35 " He himself is ‘Absolute Supreme Soul’ (Parmatma), but he is involved in experiencing things which do not belong to him lawfully, and that is why he is not aware of that. The Lord had said that he does not object to you having three wives, but they must be lawfully yours. Take care of your wife’s mind, and the wife takes care of your mind, and remain alert that karma (deeds) does not increase. "
36 " There are two types of energies; one in the domain of the Real Self and the other in the domain of the non-Self. The energies of the Real Self’s domain can shake the Universe, whereas the energies of the non-Self domain can’t break even a papad (lentil wafer). It is vyavasthit shakti [the energies of scientific circumstantial evidences] that governs everything [in the non-Self domain]. "
37 " All Jains believed in one thing; what is worth worshipping? The answer is the right belief (samkit). There are endless reincarnations to attain the right belief. Samkit (right belief) means the right vision, whereas this is the wrong vision. And this false belief (mithya darshan) of yours of ‘I am Chandubhai’ is your false faith (mithya shraddha). "
38 " Actually, on the path of liberation, One attains saiyam (a state in which there is absence of anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence) from the Gnani Purush, and through that saiyam, liberation is attained. Without saiyam, there is no liberation. "
39 " It is more than enough if one becomes a ‘Purush’ (Pure Soul) even for a second! One will become a Parmatma (absolute supreme Soul) if he were to become a ‘Purush’ even for a second. No one has become a ‘Purush’ even for a second. "
40 " In the state of Gnan (Knowledge of the Self), the Atma (Self) is the non-doer (akarta), in the state of ignorance of the Self, Atma (Self) is the doer (karta). "
