“The one whose kashays, (inner anger, pride, deceit, greed) are gone is worthy of worship. The absence of inner intent of kashays is indeed Gnani!”
―
―

“Is it wrong worldly interaction (avyavahar) when someone insults you? It is (correct) worldly interaction (vyavahar). Gnani (Self-realized person) will be pleased that he has become free from karma bondage, when someone insults Him; while a non Self-realized person will fight back.”
―
―

“The Gnani Purush simply makes the separation in one’s vision: ‘This is the vision of the Soul, the real Selfâ€� and ‘this is the vision of the worldly selfâ€�. Otherwise a person can never make this change in his vision. One’s vision of ‘I am Chandubhaiâ€� (vikalpi drashti) will never become the vision of ‘I am the Pure Soulâ€� (nirvikalpi drashti).”
―
―

“What is the benefit of egoism? It is only through the benefit of egoism that people get their daughters married, get their sons married, walk around as a father and say ‘mine, mineâ€�! The entire world is enjoying the benefit of egoism. The Gnanis (Self-realized) enjoy the benefit of the Self.”
―
―

“In the current era, to take adjustments in worldly interactions is knowledge (Gnan). One is to adjust to ‘disadjustments'.”
―
―

“The Gnani Purush [The enlightened one] always remains untouched in his worldly interactions. Everything will get resolved for us if we go to Him. He shows us what is ‘correctâ€� and what is ‘incorrectâ€�.”
―
―

“If attachment becomes fixed on a 'Gnani' [The enlightened one], then it becomes Real attachment (prashastaraag). It will get one’s work done. It will uproot attachment in all other places. Because the Gnani is Vitarag, attachment-free. Attachment for a Vitarag gives liberation from all the suffering.”
―
―

“There are two ways by which one will realize the life’s goal. If we have not met a Gnani Purush, then we should live life in such a way, that we hurt no one. Our highest goal should be to not hurt any living being in the slightest. The other way is if you encounter the Gnani Purush, then you should remain in the Gnani’s satsang. In doing so, all your work will be accomplished. All the 'puzzles' will be solved.”
―
―

“If someone says, "the Gnani Purush is happy in the 'Real' but happy or unhappy in the 'relativeâ€�", then I would say, "No, the Gnani Purush Knows the 'relative' as being the 'relative', and therefore He is happy in the relative as well.”
―
―

“The whole world can be explained in just one sentence. ‘What is being discharged (visarjan) is old and what is being charged (sarjan) is newâ€�. If someone is discharging bad behavior but at the same time, has learned from the ‘Gnani Purushâ€� [the enlightened one]; he would be charging a higher life form!”
―
―

“Those who are in vyavahar (worldly interactions), and who are indeed conducting themselves in the vyavahar; are known as worldly people [sansaari]. And ‘Siddhaâ€� (absolutely enlightened Ones without a body) are not in the worldly conduct whatsoever. Therefore, they are known as the ‘non-worldlyâ€� people [asansaari]! Then there are those who are in the worldly life and yet whose conduct is not in the worldly life at all; such ‘Gnani Purush (the enlightened ones)â€� are called, ‘non-worldlyâ€� (asansaari).”
―
―

“Gnaniâ€� [the englightened one] gives freedom from all sufferings. Outside [world] reigns the cycle of antagonistic [painful] times, Kaliyug. On the contrary, it will even take away whatever happiness you may have.”
―
―

“These are all ‘ghostsâ€�. If you are afraid, the ghosts will possess you. If there is inner fear of ‘what if they hang me?â€�; then one should say, ‘yes, that is correctâ€�. The Soul can never be hung; nothing [worldly] can touch the Soul. All the doings are that of the pudgal (matter; non-Self). The noose for hanging is pudgal and the one doing hanging (the hangman), is also pudgal. The Soul has never been hung. This [fact] does not fit one’s vision and that is why he has fear. But once his vision becomes like the Gnani’s [the enlightened one], then it’s over! For that, one has to stay in touch with the Gnani [the enlightened one].”
―
―

“Whatever one knows, he knows on the basis of his egoism. The ‘Gnaniâ€� [The enlightened one], who doesn’t know how to do anything; has no egoism whatsoever.”
―
―

“Through the grace of a thief, one can become a thief and through the grace of a Gnani [the enlightened one], one can become a Gnani [the enlightened one].”

―

“The one who becomes free from all kinds of beggary is bestowed the state of a ‘Gnaniâ€� [the enlightened one].”
―
―

“Any type of desire is beggary. One who is without any desire is called ‘Gnaniâ€� [the enlightened one].”
―
―

“No one dies in the language of the Gnani (the Self-realized one) and every one dies in the language of the agnani (non-Self-realized person). The agnani (non-Self-realized person) mourns and grieves, and the Gnani simply ‘Seesâ€�.”
―
―

“If you are lost while travelling on the road, then if you ask a guide of the road, you will find the right way. Similarly, people have become lost on their way to moksha. They will find a solution when they meet the One (Gnani, the Enlightened One) who is familiar with the way to moksha. ‘Weâ€� are that guide to moksha [the ultimate liberation]!”
―
―

“Grace of the Gnaniâ€� [the enlightened one] will take you to moksha [ultimate liberation] and ‘Grace of Godâ€� will give you worldly happiness. God will not take you to moksha, because God cannot be realized without a ‘Gnaniâ€� [the enlightened one], can he? He remains hidden.”

“The relative (vyavahaar) is taught by one's mother and the Real (Nischay; the Self) is given by Gnani. Thereafter, nothing else remains to be Known.”
― The Current Living Tirthankara Shree Simandhar Swami
― The Current Living Tirthankara Shree Simandhar Swami

“So long as one has not met the Gnani Purush, until then it is 'worth doing' vyavahaar (worldly interaction); and after having met the Gnani Purush, the vyavahaar is that which needs to be settled (nikaali).”

“The Self is not what people believe it to be, or what the intellect can grasp. It is immeasurable. Where there is no measure, there is no scale, there is nothing at all that will work here! The Self is such that It can only be Known through the Knowledge of the Self. It is actually only through the Knowledge of the Gnani that the Self can be realized.”

“All the doors of your intellect get shut in this satsang. Slowly everything becomes clarified; the Gnani Purush makes us just as He is! The Gnani himself has become the real form as the absolute Self (Parmatma swaroop). [By remaining] In 'his' company, that form manifests for us too.”
―
―

“Liberation is not possible even after a million lifetimes. Your work [of liberation] is getting done only because you have met a living Gnani Purush. The absolute Gnani is One for whom nothing in this world remains to be known. He is constantly conversing with the absolute Self (Parmatma); such a Gnani can do whatever he wishes!”
―
―

“A guru helps one traverse worldly life. The Gnani gives liberation. The Gnani has himself become the real form as the Self (Atmaswaroop) despite having a physical body.”
