Doubt Quote by Dada Bhagwan
““Know this vast world without a shadow of doubt (nihshankpane). Doubts should not arise anywhere. Who is a Gnani? He is the One who has Known the entire world without a shadow of doubt. By following Him closely, if you also Know the world like He does, then a solution will come about. Otherwise, it is not possible to solve this puzzle. This is a difficult puzzle!””
