Doership Quote by Dada Bhagwan
““People ask, ‘Did the soul do all this?’ No, it is only scientific circumstantial evidence. How is that? If you stand in front of a mirror, then even if you do not wish for it, does your reflection not show up “exactly” in the mirror? The soul does not have the power or the ability to walk but due to karmic discharge (of previous lives deeds) it is able to go all the way to the abode of the liberated Souls (Siddha Kshetra).””
