Egoism Quote by Dada Bhagwan
““However long one travels in the wrong direction in the worldly lie, that much of it is egoism. And as that egoism dissolves, one will experience eternal bliss. The Egoism of Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) is gone, and therefore He constantly experiences eternal bliss. He experiences that bliss even when someone swears at him. That is when you feel, ‘Wow! What kind of bliss this is!””
