All Awareness quotes Dada Bhagwan’s page

Dada Bhagwan talks about true self‑awareness that isn’t tied to a name or money. He says the illusion of “I am Chandubhai” creates karma, while real awareness stays calm and watches the outcome of every action. He also notes that an enlightened mind forgets death as easily as it lets go of spent money.
