Natural law : Fault is of the sufferer
The law of the Lord says whatever the location, whatever
the time, the one who suffers is the one who is at fault. There
is no need to ask any attorney about it. When someone’s pocket
gets picked, the one who picks the pocket is happy. He is eating
and enjoying himself and during that time the one whose pocket
he picked is suffering. Therefore the fault is of the one who is
suffering. He must have stolen sometime in his past life, for
which he got caught today therefore he is the guilty one (guilty
of stealing in past life). The other person will be called a thief
and suffer whenever he is caught.
‘The fault is of the sufferer’ is a very profound and hidden
elemental principle. Here the intellect will become exhausted
trying to understand it. The Gnani Purush sheds light where
matignan (knowledge through the medium of the senses and
intellect) stops working. This mysterious elemental secret needs
to be understood at a very subtle level.
There is no one above you; no superior to reprimand you.
Your superior is your own mistakes. No one else is at fault here.
The sufferer is the one at fault.
A doctor gives a shot of medicine to his patient and goes
home and sleeps peacefully. But the patient suffers all night from
pain from the shot. Who is at fault here? It is the patient and
doctor’s fault will become evident when he suffers for his
mistake.
There are two types of languages (bhasha): a language of
illusion (bhranti) and the language of the vitarag. In the language
of the vitarags only the sufferer is at fault.
