“Who are considered as those who live a worldly life (sansaari)? Those who have attachment-abhorrence and anger-pride-deceit-greed (kashays), are all sansaari. Those who do not have a resultant state of control over anger-pride-deceit-greed (saiyam parinaam), are all sansaari. If one is living with queens, but if he has control over anger-pride-deceit-greed (saiyam), then he is considered saiyami whereas the one who renounces worldly life but has no saiyam then even he is considered sansaari.”
― Dada Bhagwan
