Behavior Quote by Dada Bhagwan
““As long as the tendency for unity of the mind-speech and body prevails, it is considered acceptable to undertake worldly interactions. In this era of time cycle, it is not possible for this unity to prevail. That is why, on the Akram path, this worldly interaction has been entirely placed in the category of 'to be settled' (discharge). Even then, in Akram, the worldly interactions are completely ideal.””
