Beliefs Quote by Dada Bhagwan
““Whole belief has arisen due to darshan mohaniya (illusion caused by wrong vision of the Self, right belief deluding karma) and that is why the kashays (anger, pride, deceit, greed) have arisen. Presently the connection is due to the kashay. But where did the kashays come from? They came from the deluded vision.””
