Self-and-non-self Quote by Dada Bhagwan

““The Soul is ‘chetan-parmatma’ (eternal element that is absolute supreme Soul). Not a single one of its attributes can be imitated. That which can be imitated are the attributes of pudgal (mind-body-speech complex). Speech is a ‘tape record’. Thoughts are ‘discharge’. That, which gets discharged is ‘pudgal’.””
