![“I do not have any problem if you show disrespect towards me, but you are creating impediments towards your own Self. When you say bad words to me, that also I do not have a problem but you are doing great damage to yourself. Here great humility is needed; absolute humility [param vinaya] is needed.” quote by Dada Bhagwan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f74/dada-bhagwan-31_humility_i-do-not-have-any-problem-if-you-show-di_384841.jpg)
