Everyone’s kadhee (a Gujarati dish made from yogurt and
chickpea flour) tastes different. The yogurt that people use to
make kadhee is bought from the shop, the spices are bought
from the store, the water is from the same water department and
yet everyone’s kadhee tastes different. Some people’s kadhee is

you do not have any mistakes. There will be no superior to
scold you when your mistakes are destroyed. There will be no
one to obstruct or harass you.” You may ask the Lord, “Sir, you
have gone to moksha but what should I do when people steal

persecution at the hands of others, it is because of your own
mistakes. It is because of these mistakes that one has to become
someone’s son-in-law or father-in-law. This whole worldly
predicament is a result of your own mistakes. In reality there is
no one above you other than your own mistakes. Therefore,
destroy your old mistakes and do not allow new ones to occur.
