Absolute-knowledge Quote by Dada Bhagwan
““People of the world say that, "Absolute Knowledge (Keval Gnan) is a thing to 'do'." No, it is something to be known! That which needs 'doing' is already taken care of by nature. 'To do' is itself an illusion. This energy is doing things for you with such grandeur! At least recognize this energy. God does not do anything of this sort at all. This is indeed the work of vyavasthit shakti (the energy of scientific circumstantial evidences).””
