suggestion to improve Dada Vani, it was accepted, and this way different suggestions from everyone started pouring in. If daal (Indian lentil soup) gets burnt while cooking, don't ask who did it? It is pointless to discuss how the daal got burnt. Instead you should start finding ways and means of improving the remaining daal. Pour out the unburnt daal from the top of the vessel, and temper it with cloves and cardamom in sizzling oil. Or, put aside the burnt daal, then, in another vessel, cook more daal for 100 people. Thus pick up and continue from where it has stopped (improve from where it goes wrong). You should not waste time asking 'Who did it? When did it happen? Why can’t you be more careful?' A discreet person will decide how to bring about a solution before the problem gets worse. In fact, if you really want to know as to who spoilt it, then apply the Gnan of 'vyavasthit' because 'Nobody is an individual' doer. It is scientific circumstantial evidence.' “She makes toast every day, but every third day she burns it!” He says one day, “How many years have you been doing this but you still can't do it correctly!” “I was making tea at the same time, so the toast got burnt!” She retorts. So, what can you do if it got burnt? Mistakes happen. You don't have to focus on the mistake but find a solution to it. It is because you don't solve the problem and go on increasing the problem with blame and excuse that causes heartburns and quarrels in your relationships. Finally, it leads to unhappiness. It is not right to accuse anyone or point out anyone's mistake. When someone points out your mistake, you should realize that it is your 'excess ego' which is getting the beating. Don't accuse any individual of anything. Don't point your finger at him to show others that he is Nimesh who had asked his question on 'moha.' When you do so, his 'garbage' simply gets washed away easily and it gets collected within you! As soon as you see someone as sinner, it is the beginning of your own downfall. We have to undergo suffering due to our own mistakes. Which mistakes? My 'raag' should not be possessed by someone else. A person may create a division by using his intellect, but you should not allow this to happen. You don't have to go by your intellect. If the other person's behaviour is ruled by his intellect, he will create a rift between the two of you. However, despite this, you should not create any rift with him
