“In nature, there is no pain or suffering neither in the spiritual life nor in the worldly life. The worldly life has become painful due to lack of this understanding. One does not know how to interact in life. He should remain untouched in the worldly life. When one remains untouched in the worldly life, there is no end to the bliss that arises!”

Indian spiritual leader from Gujarat

Dada Bhagwan, also known as Dadashri, was an Indian spiritual leader from Gujarat. Born Ambalal Muljibhai Patel, he founded the Akram Vignan Movement and became known for his teachings after his self-realization in 1958. He worked as a contractor for a company that maintained dry docks in Bombay before stepping back from daily business to focus on spiritual aims. His movement grew in western India and beyond, and his teaching placed strong emphasis on ahimsa, or non-violence, and vegetarianism.
