Aptasutra 899

'Charge' means coming together of all the circumstances and 'discharge' means the circumstances get over.

Everything that is experienced through the five senses is all 'discharge'. It is due to one's merit karmas that everything works according to one's wishes, but he claims, 'I did it' and when one faces losses, he will say, 'God did it' or 'my horoscope is unfavorable'.

Aptasutra 897

'I am Chandubhai' is an illusion itself and from that are karmas charged. When does 'charging' of new karmas stop? When one attains the exact awareness of 'who I am?'.

Aptasutra 896

The whole world has the illusory awareness of, 'I am the doer'. In reality, everyone's karmas are getting discharged, but one is not aware of this. One has no awareness of his own True Self.

Aptasutra 895

The Soul (Atma) is the same as the sentient absolute supreme Soul (chetan-parmatma). Not a single attribute of the Soul can be imitated. What can be imitated is the attribute of the non-self body complex (pudgal). Speech is a 'tape record'. Thoughts are a 'discharge'. That, which discharges; is all non-self body complex (pudgal).

Aptasutra 894

That which cannot be seen by the eyes, nor heard by the ears, is the Self (chetan, soul). That which can be heard by the ears, 'Television' is seen, a 'record' is heard, that is not self (chetan, soul). The Self (chetan, soul) can only be seen with the divine vision (divya chakshu).

Aptasutra 893

'We' are the self (chetan, soul) and obstruction (antray) are non-self (achetan, non-soul); therefore, the Self (chetan, soul) shall win in the end!

Aptasutra 892

One who speaks 'completely' negative creates karmic obstructions (antray) and 'positive' does not create any obstruction (antray).

Aptasutra 891

How far is the Soul from attaining moksha (ultimate liberation)? Only the obstructive (antray) karmas.

Aptasutra 890

Man is indeed the Absolute Supreme Soul (Parmatma); it is possible for infinite divinity to arise within. The moment he has a desire, he becomes a human! Otherwise, he can acquire whatever he wants, but he is unable to do so because of impediments (antray).

Aptasutra 889

'We' (the Gnani Purush, the enlightened one) have only one desire, and that too is a discharging desire of doing 'Jagat kalian' (world's salvation).

Aptasutra 888

Why is it that 'we' (the Gnani Purush, the enlightened one) do not have any obstruction (antray)? It is because 'we' are in a desire-free state (Nirichchhak dasha).

Aptasutra 887

Obstacles (antray) are indeed due to desires. As desires keep on decreasing, so do the obstructions (antray) keep on getting destroyed. Then, everything is acquired (at that stage).

Aptasutra 886

Without 'Gnan' (True Knowledge of the Self), desire(s) will not go away.

Aptasutra 885

Where there is even the subtlest desire, the 'Eternal Thing' cannot be attained.

Aptasutra 884

Desires occur because pratyakhyan [resolutions to not repeat the mistake] were not done. It comes in the memory because pratikraman [repentances] were not done.

Aptasutra 883

Desires are done by the 'Pudgal' (non-self mind-body-complex), so how can they be suppressed? If You (the Self) are the one doing the desiring, then why don't you stop it? But that doesn't happen therefore, desire is a matter pertaining to the Pudgal (non-self mind-body-complex).

Aptasutra 882

If a person has any desire; then he cannot be called as God at all !

Aptasutra 881

To have a desire means to have dependency.

Aptasutra 880

How long does one have obstacles (antray) in getting money? As long as he has the desire to earn money, he will have difficulty (antray). The moment there is disinterest towards money, it will come in abundance.

Aptasutra 879

If money is spent in the wrong way, then 'control' the spending and if the money is spent in the right way, then 'decontrol' the spending.

Aptasutra 878

The awareness that ‘money will get spent’ must never be kept; whatever gets spent at whatever time is correct. That’s why it was told to spend money, so that they can be free from greed and they can give it again and again.

Aptasutra 877

Do you have to regret spending money when you earn money? And when it is time to spend, you should be strong that you got the opportunity to pay off your debt. Income is one’s responsibility and expense is the means to clear off the responsibility.

Aptasutra 876

Is it not necessary to eat? Is it not necessary to go to the toilet? They are necessary. In the same way, money is also required. Just as one does not have to think about going to the toilet & it happens automatically, in the same way, money comes without you having to think about it.

Aptasutra 875

Money is 'limited' and people's demands are 'unlimited'.

Aptasutra 874

When can one attain samadhi (eternal blissful continuous peace)? It comes when one lets go of the things that he loves the most.

Aptasutra 873

People live for two reasons. There are those who live for the Soul; such people are very rare. All others live for money. All day is spent for money, money, money!

Aptasutra 872

Who is considered as not living in the worldly life? The person who doesn't have focus on the non-Self. 'I' (the Gnani Purush) do not live in the worldly life even for one moment. Liberation (Moksha) is to be found through the one who does not live in the worldly life. What can you not attain through the grace of such a person?

Aptasutra 871

Who is considered as not living in the worldly life? The person who doesn’t have focus on the non-Self. ‘I’ (the Gnani Purush) do not live in the worldly life even for one moment. Liberation (Moksha) is to be found through the one who does not live in the worldly life. What can you not attain through the grace of such a person?

Aptasutra 870

As much focused awareness of the Self (upayog) one can keep, that much authority he can create. If the upayog is kept for five hours, the authority is created for five hours. If complete Self-authority is created entirely, he becomes God!
