"I am the indestructible soul..."

& Shrimadji said... "I am not the embodiment; the body, wife, sons etc. do not belong to me. I am the indestructible soul in the form of pure consciousness. Craving and aversion can come to the end by such self-contemplation..."

"Direct commands of the enlightened..."

& Shrimadji said... "Instructions given in the scriptures are indirect and they are meant to turn one receptive. For attaining liberation one has to resort to direct commands of the enlightened..."

"Wake up from the sleep of delusion..."

& Shrimadji said... "As a snake wakes up on hearing the tune of a flute, so does the soul wake up from the sleep of delusion by listening to its true state of purity..."

"The worldly sea can be crossed over..."

& Shrimadji said..."As the sea can be crossed with the help of a sturdy boat and the knowledgeable sailor, the worldly sea can be crossed over with the boat of true religion and expert sailor in the form of a true Guru..."

"Attainment of the power of discrimination or samyakdarshan (right belief)...

& Shrimadji said "The 'soul exists', 


'the Soul is eternal', 


'the Soul is the doer of Karma', 


'the Soul is the enjoyer of karma', 


'the Soul can attain liberation from it' and 


'there are means to attain liberation': 


when these six fundamental truths are realised after deliberation, that should be considered as the attainment of the power of discrimination or samyakdarshan (right belief) according to the Jina. 


This exposition should be studied in depth by spiritual aspirants.


The contemplation of these six fundamental truths arises either through the deep impressions of the past or because of the influence of satsang..."

Adopt the words of saint at heart..."

& Shrimadji said... "Whoever adopts the words of saint at heart, will attain the truth. There is no doubt about it..."

"Instruction of the self-realised..."

& Shrimadji said... "Make a firm resolve to stop your attention from wandering outside and focus within; undoubtedly, this is the instruction of the self-realised..."

"keep these words engraved at your heart..."

& Shrimadji said... "Whom should one rely upon for realizing it except the flawless personalities, who have experienced the truth? Oh man, know thy soul right now, have equanimity for all and keep these words engraved at your heart..."

"Evident commands of Enlightened..."

& Shrimadji said... "Directives given in the scriptures are remote; they are meant for enabling the soul to be deserving. For attaining liberation one has to resort to the evident commands of Enlightened..."

"True purpose of human life..."

& Shrimadji said... "Please consider what is the real gain with increase of wealth or growth of status or expansion of family and relations? 


That merely extends the life cycle and true purpose of human life is lost thereby. 


Alas, you do not think of it even for a moment!"

"Resorting to a true Guru..."

& Shrimadji said... "Scriptures are hard to understand even by a highly intelligent person. They can be easily and correctly understood by resorting to a true Guru..."

"Serving at the feet of the true Guide..."

& Shrimadji said... "Absolute objectives cannot be perceived without the eyes of enlightenment. They can be visualized by serving at the feet of the true Guide..."

"My own experience..."

& Shrimadji said... "An Enlightened Being is one whose attention is focused within, day and night; 


what He says may not be in the scriptures, may not even have been heard before, but can be experienced; 


whose actions are not easy to understand because they do not spring from any intrinsic desires. 


Nothing more remains to be said. 


Without doing this, liberation is not possible. 


consider these words, coming out of my own experience, as truthful..."

"This worldly cycle (of life and death)..."

& Shrimadji said..."Tell me what has one gained by increasing wealth and power? Think what does one achieve by expanding his family and relations. What increases is only this worldly cycle (of life and death), while one wastes his precious human life. Alas!!! Would you not think about it even for a moment?"

"Eradication of Karma without much effort..."

& Shrimadji said... "Worshipping the Lord leads to manifestation of blissful nature; thereby all types of distress and afflictions occurring in mind come to the end; that results in large scale eradication of Karma without much effort; you can thus terminate the worldly life by worshipping the Lord..."
