If the Self is allowed to become one [with the non-Self], then that becomes a violent intent (himsak bhaav).” quote by Dada Bhagwan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/434/dada-bhagwan-31_body_what-is-saiyam-parinaam-it-is-when-the-s_86584.jpg) [Download](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/434/dada-bhagwan-31_body_what-is-saiyam-parinaam-it-is-when-the-s_86584.jpg) [Open image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/434/dada-bhagwan-31_body_what-is-saiyam-parinaam-it-is-when-the-s_86584.jpg) > ““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).”” [Dada Bhagwan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/dada-bhagwan/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance. It is one reading of the quote, not the author's own explanation. When the true self remains distinct from external identities, it preserves inner integrity; merging with the non‑self creates aggression, as the self’s boundaries are violated. **In simple terms:** Keeping the self separate prevents violent intent. Key Takeaway Self‑identity must stay distinct from external roles.
