Body Quote by Dada Bhagwan

“What is saiyam parinaam? It is when the Self (Atma) does not become one in with the non-Self (pudgal); It continues to prevail separately. If the Self is allowed to become one [with the non-Self], then that becomes a violent intent (himsak bhaav).” quote by Dada Bhagwan
