Condemnation Quote by Dada Bhagwan
““This entire environment is filled with parmanu (the smallest, most indivisible and indestructible particles of matter). That is why 'we' tell you, "Do not criticize (ninda) anyone. Do not utter even a single word irresponsibly. And if you must speak, then speak that which is good.””
