“Right knowledge (samikit) means right vision. What does the wrong vision do? It will make one say, ‘this person caused me a loss. This person profited me. That person insulted me. That person hurt me. This person made me happy.’ There is no one out there giving you pain or pleasure! Indeed, it is all within you.”

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.
