![“Bear ‘beating’ in this world. Therein is the taste of the Soul [the Atma]. There is no taste [feeling of goodness, happiness] in giving it [beating others, giving pain to others]. This world has come into existence because of giving [beating others, giving pain to others].” quote by Dada Bhagwan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f2b/dada-bhagwan-31_happiness_bear-beating-in-this-world-therein-is-th_110896.jpg)
