Awareness Quote by Dada Bhagwan
““The awareness as the doer has not gone, that is why the awareness as the sufferer prevails. That is why the kashays (anger-price-deceit-greed) persist. Once the awareness as the doer is dispelled, the awareness as the sufferer ceases to exist, then the kashays go away.””
