Spiritual Quotes On living

There are two ways by which the goals of life are determined : If you don't encounter a Gnani Purush (the One who has realized the Self and is able to do the same for others), then you should live in worldly life in such a way that you don't become the cause of misery to anyone. The greatest of all goals to uphold is that no living being should be hurt in the slightest by you. And secondly, if you do happen to directly encounter a Gnani Purush, then you should remain in His satsang (spiritual discourse; company of Self-realized beings). By doing so, all your [spiritual] work will be accomplished. All your [worldly] 'puzzles' will be solved.

If you want to practice a worldly religion, then there are only 2 statements worth understanding: 1) Nurture the intention that no living being should be hurt by you and 2) Nurture the intention to give what you have to others. The one for whom these two intentions get fulfilled, he will have learnt all there is to learn about religion!

The human beings of this world are living on the basis of two things: one is on the basis of the Swaroop (One's real form as the Self), and the other is on the basis of the ahamkaar (ego).

Not having the slightest of contempt towards a nimit (a living or non-living entity that is instrumental in the unfolding of your karma) is dharmadhyan (a virtuous internal state of being that prevents one from hurting the self and others).

Demerit (paap) karma and merit (punya) karma, what are they? God resides within every living being in worldly life, therefore never have even the slightest intent to hurt any living being. Otherwise, as a result of that engaging in that fault, demerit karma will be bound. On the other hand, if you give the slightest of happiness to any living being, or you have the slightest intent to give happiness to any living being, then as a result of giving happiness to the God within, you will bind merit karma.

'‘No living being can interfere in another living being even in the slightest!’ If anyone comes to understand this siddhant (incontrovertible principle that accomplishes the ultimate goal), then he will himself become swatantra (independent as the Self; subject to the Self alone)!

The law of nature is such that each living being definitely gets happiness according to his individual needs. Whatever ‘tender’ each living being had filled out [in the past life], it certainly gets fulfilled [in this life].
