Cause And Effect Quotes

“Doing right gets results, doing wrong gets consequences.”
― Amit Kalantri, One Bucket of Tears

“In this jangle of causes and effects, what had become of their true selves? Here Leonard lay dead in the garden, from natural causes; yet life was a deep, deep river, death a blue sky, life was a house, death a wisp of hay, a flower, a tower, life and death were anything and everything, except this ordered insanity, where the king takes the queen, and the ace the king. Ah, no; there was beauty and adventure behind, such as the man at her feet had yearned for; there was hope this side of the grave; there were truer relationships beyond the limits that fetter us now. As a prisoner looks up and sees stars beckoning, so she, from the turmoil and horror of those days, caught glimpses of the diviner wheels.”
― E.M. Forster, Howards End

“Cars with flames painted on the hood might get more speeding tickets. Are the flames making the car go fast? No. Certain things just go together. And when they do, they are correlated. It is the darling of all human errors to assume, without proper testing, that one is the cause of the other.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, Flight Behavior

“If natural philosophy does not teach us the remedies for many diseases, it furnishes us at least with certain means to contract them.”

― Dada Bhagwan, The Science Of Karma

“The cause of your suffering is based on the internal structure of your mind -- all the causes of your discomfort and distress originate from the inner world, and not from the outer world. Given the fact that the human brain is a necessary and proximate sufficient cause of the human mind, in general, start with the re-arrangement of your brain activity, if you want to avoid all the suffering in your life. Remember, your brain is the ultimate cure for your suffering, as well as its ultimate cause.”
― Elmar Hussein

“The friendship between Margaret and Mrs. Wilcox, which was to develop so quickly and with such strange results, may perhaps have had its beginnings at Speyer, in the spring.”
― E.M. Forster, Howards End

― Rufus Matthew Jones, The Inner Life

“Worry is the greatest seed (cause) for the worldly life because worrying is the greatest form of egoism. If the egoism leaves, worries will leave.”
― Dada Bhagwan, Worries

“Dharmadhyan (auspicious contemplation, to not hurt anyone, to give happiness to others) is an indirect cause for moksha (liberation), and shukladhyan (awareness and contemplation as the Self, Pure Soul) is a direct cause for attaining Moksha (liberation).”
― Dada Bhagwan, Simple & Effective Science for Self Realization

“The result of the discharging of karma tagged with shukladhyan (Internal state that renders the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’) is moksha (liberation). And the result of discharging of karma tagged with dharmadhyan (absence of adverse internal state of being that hurts the self and others) is tremendous punya (merit karma). It binds punyanubandhi punya (merit karma that binds more merit karma).”
― Dada Bhagwan, Simple & Effective Science for Self Realization

“Shukladhyan (internal state that renders the constant awareness of ‘I am pure Soul’) is the direct cause for moksha (liberation). Dharmadhyan (absence of adverse internal state of being that hurts the self and others) is the indirect cause for moksha. Artadhyan (adverse internal state that results in hurting the self) is a cause for a birth in animal life form (non-human). Raudradhyan (Adverse internal state of being that hurts others) is a cause for a life in hell.”
― Dada Bhagwan, The Science Of Karma

“One will keep on charging new karma as long as there is the awareness of ‘I am the doer’. In the ‘akram-marg’ (step-less, direct path to Self-realization), ‘We’ (enlightened one, Dadabhagwan) dissolve your ‘doer-ship’. The awareness that ‘I am the doer’ goes away and the understanding of ‘who the doer is’ is given. Therefore, the charging (of karma) stops! What is left now? Only the form of ‘discharge’ is left.”
― Dada Bhagwan, The Science Of Karma

“Importance is not of ‘discharge’ (of karmas) that occurs; but the importance is that of the ‘dhyan’ (internal state of being) at that time in effect.”
― Dada Bhagwan, The Science Of Karma

“Charge' always keeps on worshipping the 'discharge'.”
― Dada Bhagwan, The Science Of Karma

“It is considered pure ‘discharge’ (of karma) when a person does no ‘planning’. Charging occurs where there is planning. Discharge is of natural characteristics. There is no pain in it.”
― Dada Bhagwan, The Science Of Karma

“A person is not a ‘doer’ in this world. When one believes that ‘I am the doer’ is when the ‘charging’ (of karma) occurs. When one tastes egoistic pride of, “I did this samayik (spiritual introspection), I did these activities,” is when the ‘charging’ occurs. The taste of egoistic pride is very sweet.”
― Dada Bhagwan, The Science Of Karma

“What is 'discharge'? It will not move away till it’s time has come. Discharge does not happen at your convenience, if you are in a hurry.”
― Dada Bhagwan, The Science Of Karma

“In whatever work that you do in this world, the work has no value. You will be ‘binding responsibility’ for next life only if there is attachment and abhorrence involved in it. There is no responsibility if the attachment and abhorrence do not occur.”
― Dada Bhagwan, The Science Of Karma

“Causes for attachment are formed at the same time that abhorrence is occurring. Acquaintance up to a certain point will result in attachment and if it reaches ‘ridge point’ and goes past further; it will result in abhorrence.”
― Dada Bhagwan, The Science Of Karma

“The Self has been impacted by the non-Self complex. Vibrations have been formed from vibrations. ‘We’ give the Knowledge on how to stop the vibrations.”

― Dada Bhagwan, Simple & Effective Science for Self Realization

“Whatever actions that are seen in this world, are the discharging of karma that has previously been charged. A person has nothing to do with it. There, he does the egoism that I have done samayik (introspective analysis as Self). One binds karma there, and gets entrapped. He is indulged in the pride of doership there!”
― Dada Bhagwan, Simple & Effective Science for Self Realization

“If you hurt any of your fingers, your whole body will feel its effect. Everything is connected. Infect one part of something, and a reaction will spread and affect the rest. We sit sometimes not knowing why we feel restless or sad, but in truth we are feeling transferred emotions moving through our atmosphere. We pick up on frequencies that come from near and far that affect us unconsciously. Humans are like moving antennas. We are magnetic entities living in an electromagnetic world. The core of the earth is a gigantic crystal that captures and amplifies strong energies in all directions. We all act and react as its transmitters and receivers. Every cause has effect and every effect has cause. All words and actions do matter.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Two events occur together, an observed pattern. Irrespective of which occurs first, they are both effects caused by a relationship which is conceptually associated, and which, if associated with enough patterns, may ultimately be observed conceptually.”

“Contingency cannot be a contingent phenomenon. All unforeseen circumstances have unknown causes.”
― Elmar Hussein
