આજે સવારે ઊઠ્યા પછી ગુણાતીતચરણદાસ કહે,'બાપા ! આજનું અમૃતવાક્ય કહો.'
થોડીવાર વિચારી યોગીજી મહારાજ બોલ્યા,'જેવી રીતે કેગરનાં લાકડાંને અગ્નિ લાગતો નથી, તેમ આપણે ભક્તિ કરીએ તો માયા પરાભવ ન કરે...'

Gadhadã III-39: The Atma

That ãtmã is neither a Brãhmin, nor a Kshatriya, nor a Kanbi. It is no one’s son and no one’s father. It belongs to no caste and to no class. It is radiant like the sun and fire; but it is also full of consciousness. The flames of fire and the rays of the sun are jad because they do not move when touched by the finger. However, when an ant is touched by a finger, it moves and turns back. This implies that the ãtmã is full of consciousness. It is said to be similar to the sun or to fire, but that is merely because its form is similar in radiance.“

[Gadhadã III-39]
