A lady was waiting for a bus. Now is it a crime to stand at a bus-stand? The driver of the approaching bus lost control of the bus and crashed into the bus stand, killing the woman. A huge crowd gathered around the accident. If you were to ask these people to pass a judgment on the incident, they will say,“ The poor lady died through no fault of hers. How can the woman be at fault here? The driver is no good. There is no such thing as God in this world because the poor woman died through no fault of hers.”

Life is nothing but a continuum, an ongoing play of karmic accounts life after life. These accounts are not just of one life. Today that woman’ s mistake from her previous life was exposed( caught), that is why she had to pay for it.

An incident means that it has‘ so many causes at a time.’ That is why‘ we’ say, the fault is of the sufferer. The other person’ s mistake will become evident when he gets caught.

The old man replied,“ One of my four sons drinks alcohol, plays poker, bets on horses, lives in hotels and because of that I cannot sleep at night worrying about him. I worry about him
