Collection of Sayings

This Nirupana is a collection of sentences compiled over a period of time. They represent a unique self-assertion of an enlightened person. Generally, Maharaj did not talk about himself.

“My identity is beyond description. I have no use for myself. Others may find me useful, depending on their faith. What is called as the eternal truth, the Paramatman ,is always in my association. The experience of 81 years is the only obstacle that has come over me. When I do not know myself, how can I commit a sin or a virtuous act?”

“I have seen the existence-consciousness-bliss (Sat-Chit-Ananda) in its naked form and hence I talk like this. The Paramatman is guiding the Brahman – the manifest. I am not talking to a person as a person. I am talking to pure Consciousness. However, you listen to this as a human being, as a body-form and hence you do not understand this.”

“I am fully aware that the devotee is not different from me. We have an eternal friendship, only if you keep it up. The difference between I and You is gone. The sense of individuality is replaced with a sense of totality. The death has become of the nature of God.”

“My answers to your questions come up automatically. I do not think over them”

“I accepted what my Guru taught me, no other advice. Due to Maya, I felt that ‘I AM’, which was not prior to Maya. When I realized this mistake, I knew I was always there, but without knowingness.”

“My birth is the birth of the world. My speech is the tongue of the golden womb (Hiranya Garbh) through which the world is created.”

“Here, the word is replying to the word. I am outside the word. In my identity, there is no light, no darkness, no “I” nor “You”. Who will recognize me in my non-manifested state? I can be known when the knower himself is dissolved. When the passions are silent, there is no urge to go outside. I am the witness of ‘Beingness’ and ‘Non-Beingness’”.

“I am giving you the knowledge of my true nature, listen to the same as if it is your own. By the grace of the Guru, I have undergone Self-Realization and hence the great scholars cannot compete with me in arguments. Rich people, highly educated people and dignitaries come to meet me. I behave with them, just as I would wit anyone. I know why and how one feels that ‘he is’. Therefore I see no difference between big and small. I see no difference between God and Devotee. You will not understand this without discrimination.

“it has been said that I have attained a lot of knowledge, but I was convinced that I have attained no knowledge at all. All these are Seasonal Concepts. I have undergone all the Yogic experiences. I have washed them off, as there is no real greatness in attaining Spiritual Powers. You must know that I praise the Consciousness and condemn it as well. People are bothered by their memories. I have baked myself and eaten myself up”

“The sensation of beingness is a matter of experience, but I am beyond that. Some people claim that they have memories of past lives. I do not have even the experience of myself at any time”.

“No specimen of my individuality will be found in the world. I am only the totality. A life of extra 100 years will be of no use to a person like me. I have disappeared with negation. I have no use of my beingness. I am desireless Parabrahman. You are listening to me while treating yourself as the body, hence this is not useful to you. My sayings and your understating should be reconciled.

“You will not be able to endure what I will say from now on. Therefore, I ask you to leave. I have no use for myself. But for you, I will be available anywhere according to your faith. My form will depend upon your concept. You will meet me according to your concept.”

The following are the last words of Maharaj before he lost his voice:

“I feel the pain in the body but I have no pain of dying. Whatever has been manifested, is not I. I am ‘THAT’ which is always there and which is prior to manifestation. I am not the Consciousness; on the contrary, the consciousness is a nuisance to me”.
