Beating Quote by Dada Bhagwan
““Bear ‘beating’ in this world. Therein is the taste of the Soul [the Atma]. There is no taste [feeling of goodness, happiness] in giving it [beating others, giving pain to others]. This world has come into existence because of giving [beating others, giving pain to others].””
