is a judge, a lawyer and a juror, will only rule in his own favor.
This is how one continues to be bound. The judge within will
say that he has made a mistake, the lawyer within will never let
him admit his own mistake and in this way, he creates bondage
for himself. For the sake of your own spiritual progress and
your soul, it is imperative that you find out who is the one
responsible for making mistakes that create bondage. It is the
sufferer that is at fault for making mistakes. He or she is at fault.
From the worldly perspective it appears that the victim has
been wronged or unjustly punished but in the Lord’s eyes, ‘The
fault is of the sufferer’. Dada has seen exactly this in his Gnan :
‘The fault is of the sufferer’.
‘Fault is of the sufferer’ – if one were to completely
understand this statement, one would attain liberation. To see
faults in others is absolutely wrong. You encounter your nimit
(those who transgress against you – these beings are merely
nimits– instrumental in delivering the fruits of your own karma),
solely because of your own mistakes. And if that nimit happens
to be a living entity, you place the blame on them, but what
would you do if the nimit were a thorn? A thorn is lying on the
ground where hundreds of people walk by and it hurts no one.
And yet when Chandubhai passes by, the thorn pricks him even
when it is laying side ways. Vyavasthit is very precise. The thorn
will prick only the one that has to be pricked. Vyavasthit brings
together all the circumstances in order for an event to occur.
How then can a nimit be blamed?
If someone sprays a medicine that makes you cough
violently, it will upset you and you will get angry with him, but
do you get angry when you cough when someone is cooking
chili peppers? You get angry with the one you catch, the nimit.
But if you were to know the facts about who the doer is and
why things happen, would there be any more problems?
Whose fault is it if you walk on wet slippery soil with
