1 " Renunciation is actually a result of the unfolding karma, whereas saiyam, a state in which there is absence of anger-pride-deceit-greed and attachment-abhorrence, is a result of understanding. "
― Dada Bhagwan , Aptavani-1
2 " The science of absolutism (vitaraag vignan) is such that it cannot be understood by anyone. Even it's manifestion within me has not been through any effort on my part. It has happened, 'but naturally. "
3 " This is a Science! It is God’s Scientific experiment. All these are neither deeds (karma) nor is there any doer; there is no authority overseeing either. It is only a Science! "
4 " Kramic means doership. 'Akram Vignan' only needs to be understood. That which has arisen through lack of understanding, will be dispelled through understanding. There is no (belief that), 'this happened to me,' One simply needs to Know, 'this is what happened'! "
5 " Skills (learning) or lack of skills is all egoistic knowledge (ego based knowledge). Ego-free Knowledge is called (true) Knowledge [Gnan]. "
6 " If you refer to worldly interactions as vyavasthit (result of scientific circumstantial evidences), then all the hopes (aasha) and insatiable desires (trushna) will disperse away. "
7 " Pudgal means puran (influx) and galan (outflux). "
8 " That which takes one from the wrong to the right, is not wrong [religion]; but real religion is to come into Your own nature [as the Self]. Once You come into Your inherent nature as the Self, then no external things will ever touch You. "
9 " Dwelling in the non-Self (paudgalik ramanata) leads to rebirth, while dwelling in the Self (Atma ramanata) leads to liberation (moksha), within one or two lifetimes. "
10 " I' maintain only one kind of 'production' for 'myself'!' May the entire world attain absolute peace and may some people attain liberation!' Do 'I' not get the 'by-product' free-of-cost? I indeed keep receiving it! "
11 " There are two kinds of beliefs in this world. Impure beliefs are illusory beliefs. The pure belief is Real. "
12 " In this worldly life where there is no ownership, where there is nothing, one has come here as a guest. And so one has to go back. Those with attachment or non-attachment, everyone will go back. Do not waste even a single ‘minute’ in this. Indeed we would understand if one was going to live ten or fifteen thousand years! "
13 " When agnan (ignorance) goes away, root cause of worldy life. How does one know that ignorance of the Self (agnan) is gone? It is when one realizes the Self. "
14 " When parparinati (the belief that 'I am doing' in what are the results of the non-Self) ceases and one happens to remain in Swa-parinaam (the resultant state a the Self); when One becomes established in Swa-parinaam, that is when One finally becomes God! "
15 " Akram (non-sequential) path’ and ‘kramic (step by step) path’ are two different paths. They are the same with reference to Knowledge (Gnan), but the Kramic path is the path of doing and the Akram path is the path of releasing the reins (of doing). "
