"21. During that time, the embodied person does not know the attainment in the heart. It is known in the Samadhi. The difference in name is due to the difference in cause."

"Let knowledge be guessed by the sign of equality to all beings."

"… just as the limb gives assistance to the body, likewise the member of the community helps the community and reigns supreme."

"By happy fraternity amongst themselves, the embodied beings get the supreme peace. Then all this earth shines like one house. When the men, the embodied beings treat each other with equal respect and have good brotherly feelings amongst themselves, great peace and harmony abound. Then all this earth shines like one house. The whole world shines like the one dwelling house of the entire human family."

"[A member of the community] should conduct himself always by word, mind and body in such a fashion that it results in help to the society. He should also make his own men understand this."

"Having set one's family in consonance with the community, he should make his family prosperous to ensure the prosperity of the community."

"Peace is for the purification of one's mind. Power is for the growth of the community. Having established the community with power, one should then establish supreme peace."

"38. The sense of doership reaps the fruits of action (karma): karma ends when the doer realizes his true nature."

"39. Bondage and Liberation are mere notions in the mind: they cease when he who is bound is inquired into and realized."

"40. True Liberation has no form, and destroys the very ego which distinguishes between one kind of it and another."

"The booklet Nan Yar? (Who am I?) elaborates on the "I" and Self-enquiry:"

"Of all the thoughts that rise in the mind, the thought 'I' is the first thought."

"What is called mind is a wondrous power existing in Self. It projects all thoughts. If we set aside all thoughts and see, there will be no such thing as mind remaining separate; therefore, thought itself is the form of the mind. Other than thoughts, there is no such thing as the mind."

"That which rises in this body as 'I' is the mind. If one enquires 'In which place in the body does the thought 'I' rise first?', it will be known to be in the heart [spiritual heart is 'two digits to the right from the centre of the chest']. Even if one incessantly thinks 'I', 'I', it will lead to that place (Self)'."

"The mind will subside only by means of the enquiry 'Who am I?'. The thought 'Who am I?', destroying all other thoughts, will itself finally be destroyed like the stick used for stirring the funeral pyre."

"Sabka Malik Ek Hai."

"Sai Baba is exemplary among the great saints of Maharashtra in western India for the ways in which he drew upon and surpassed the categories, concepts, and styles of a variety of conventionally competing religious traditions. Maharashtra is well-known for the integrative spirituality of its foremost figures, and among them Sai Baba is particularly important. The author “locates” Sai Baba in the contexts of both Hindi and Islamic traditions."

"More over, Sai Baba was a celibate, remaining in one place, performing miracles, admonishing his disciples, and keeping a fire perpetually burning at Shirdi. The functions of a Guru, ascetic and saint, Sai Baba adds that of Avatar as many of his devotees and followers consider him as major incarnation of this age."

"Oh friend! Brahma Jnana means realisation of Self (Atma). There is no difference between Atma and God. If you want to realise Atma in your body, then you have to surrender to God the following five things: five pranas, five senses, mind, intellect and ego. All these are inside a person. It is easy to surrender the external things. But to surrender those which are inside a person is very difficult. It is like walking on the edge of a sharp knife. Those who cannot surrender even the external things are deemed to be fully under delusion. Such persons cannot understand the five inside matters."

"Though I be no more in flesh and blood, I shall ever protect my devotees. I shall be with you the moment you think of me."

"Trust is sadguru fully. This is the only sadhana. Sadguru is all the gods."

"Look up to me and I will look after you. Not vain is my promise that I shall ever lighten your burden."

"If you make the sole object of your thoughts and aims you will get paramatma"

"I am the bond slave of my devotee. I love devotion. He who withdraws his heart from the world and loves me is my true lover and he merges in Me like a river in the sea."

"If one perpetually thinks of me, and makes me his sole refuge, I become his debtor and will give my life to save him."

"In whatever faith one worships me, even so I render to them."

"If one meditates on me, repeats my name, and sings about my deeds – He is transformed and his karma is destroyed. I stay by his side always."

"Whatever you do, wherever you may be, ever bear this in mind that I am always aware of everything you do"

"My eye is ever on those who love me."

"Know that my soul is immortal. Know this for yourself"

"There shall be no want in the house of my devotee."

"If you seek my advice and help, it will be given at once."

"If you cast your burden on me , I shall surely bear it."

"If you look to me I look to you."

"I am ever living to help and guide all who come to me, who surrender to me and who seek refuge in me."

"My mortal remains would speak from the tomb."

"I shall be active and vigorous even from my tomb."

"My tomb shall bless and speak to the needs of the devotees."

"I shall be ever active and vigorous even after leaving this earthly body."

"The wretched and the miserable would rise to plenty of joy and happiness."

"Whoever puts his feet on Shirdi soil, his sufferings would come to an end."

"Three main points:1) The “destination” one must reach, that is, “Mukthi”, (salvation) that is located “high up”; 2) the ways or margas leading to it are many, one path originating from Shirdi; and 3) The Presence of a guide, that is, a guru, is essential in order to reach the goal safely."

"Jnana marga is like Ramphal. Bhakthi marga is like Sitaphal (custard apple), easy to deal with and very sweet. The pulp of Ramphal is inside and difficult to get at. Ramphal should ripen on the tree and plucked ripe, If it falls down it is spoilt. So if a Jnani falls, he is ruined. Even for a Jnani there is the danger of a fall, i.e., by a little negligence or carelessness."

"Desistance from sin makes one entirely happy."

"Māhavīra proclaimed a profound truth for all times to come when he said: "One who neglects or disregards the existence of earth, air, fire, water and vegetation disregards his own existence which is entwined with them." Jain cosmology recognizes the fundamental natural phenomenon of symbiosis or mutual dependence, which forms the basis of the modern day science of ecology. It is relevant to recall that the term "ecology" was coined in the latter half of the nineteenth century from the Greek word oikos, meaning "home", a place to which one returns. Ecology is the branch of biology which deals with the relations of organisms to their surroundings and to other organisms. The ancient Jain scriptural aphorism Parasparopagraho Jīvānām (All life is bound together by mutual support and interdependence) is refreshingly contemporary in its premise and perspective. It defines the scope of modern ecology while extending it further to a more spacious "home". It means that all aspects of nature belong together and are bound in a physical as well as a metaphysical relationship. Life is viewed as a gift of togetherness, accommodation and assistance in a universe teeming with interdependent constituents."

"Mahavira, the Jain patriarch, surpassed the morality of the Bible with a single sentence: "Do not injure, abuse, oppress, enslave, insult, torment, torture, or kill any creature or living being." Imagine how different our world might be if the Bible contained this as its central precept."

"A living body is not merely an integration of limbs and flesh but it is the abode of the soul which potentially has perfect perception (Anant-darshana), perfect knowledge (Anant-jnana), perfect power (Anant-virya), and perfect bliss (Anant-sukha)."

"Kill not, cause no pain. Nonviolence is the greatest religion."

"Non-violence and kindness to living beings is kindness to oneself. For thereby one's own self is saved from various kinds of sins and resultant sufferings and is able to secure his own welfare."
