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
