What is the beginning of saiyam? From the moment artadhyan (adverse internal state of being that results in hurting the self) and raudradhyan (an adverse internal state of being that hurts others) stop. Who is considered as asaiyami (one who is under the control of anger-pride-deceit-greed)? The one who is under the control of things that do not belong to him. As long as artadhyan and raudradhyan do not stop, it is considered as yamniyam (one who is either in a state of coming into self restraint or upholding self restraint).”” [Dada Bhagwan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/dada-bhagwan/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
