![“Beastliness means taking that is unrightful [of someone’s else right], eating that is unrightful, thinking of accumulating things which is unrightful [not of one’s own right]. There is no problem in whatever comes to us rightfully [of which we are worthy of owning it].” quote by Dada Bhagwan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a5b/dada-bhagwan-31_problem_beastliness-means-taking-that-is-unright_1910910.jpg)
