have to give it to him. You have to play
your worldly role and fulfill your
responsibilities but it should be done as
though you are an actor in a play,
without any raag or dvesh. The world
only accepts that which it sees, through
the eyes and so as a witness you have to
give your evidence, but you should not
have any raag or dvesh towards the
scooter rider, because in reality he is not
at fault. People blame him because that
is what they see. It is their misperception
that makes them see this as injustice.
Questioner: Yes. That is correct.
Dadashri: If a person is hurting you, he is
not at fault. The fault is yours if you are
suffering. This is the law of nature. The
worldly law says that one who inflicts
pain is at fault.

harassing her daughter in- law. The
daughter-in-law is consumed with the
way she is being treated. Day and night,
she is preoccupied with thoughts of this

Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Her misery will affect her
physical health. The effect of this
maltreatment will not allow her to have
positive thoughts. How can she be

is because of the karmic account of her
past life that she has to endure her

to blame her mother-in-law. Then she
will be at peace. No one is at fault.
The fault is of the person who
blames others. There is nobody at
fault in this world. Everyone gets
what he or she deserves according to
his or her karma. They are not
creating new faults today. Today's
situation is the result of past karma.
Today he may repent but since he has
already made the contract in his
previous life, he has no choice but to
fulfill it.
Even an eye contact, cannot
take place without past accounts, so
how can these events take place
without past accounts? Whatever
you have given to others, you will
receive in return. If you accept it
gladly, you will be settling your
account. If you do not accept it, you
will have to suffer.
