Knowledge-of-the-self Quote by Dada Bhagwan

“As long as one does not have Knowledge of the Self, his renunciation (tyaag) will give result. And after attaining the Knowledge of the Self, there is no renunciation; there is only a vow (vrat). A vow is that which prevails on its own.” quote by Dada Bhagwan
