nischay.” There is the relative world and there is the Self.
Vyavahar is in the process of being divided completely, without
any leftover (remainders), otherwise how can there be an end to
it? We should always keep vyavahar in vyavahar and nischay in
nischay (keep the relative as relative and the real as real). Is
whatever that is destined in vyavahar not bound to come?
Vyavahar will bring to you in ‘cash’ whatever vyavahar you have
brought with you from your past life. What does vyavahar say?
Why is it that the other person gave you only eight when he
owed you eighteen? It is because the vyavahar was only of eight
and therefore by giving only eight, that vyavahar is ‘zeroed out’
completely; the karmic debt of past life is paid off. If the Gnani
Purush has given you Gnan, then you will not charge any more
new karma. Otherwise karmas will be charged for the next life.
The person who expects the other ten will bind karma, by
demanding externally or internally and complicating the interaction.
Vyavahar means that which ends the karmic accounts of
both the involved parties. It is that which ends the gross karmas
i.e. karmas perceived through the five senses and karmas that
one can experience. For the one who has not attained the
knowledge of the Self, the vyavahar leaves but it simultaneously
charges new karmas for the next life. For the one who is Self
realized, there is only discharge of the vyavahar. There is no new
charging of karma. The discharge may be of any kind but that
which discharges is exactly in accordance with the vyavahar with
that person.
Some will respond with ingratitude no matter how obliging
or benevolent you are to them. You will lose your mind if you
start to look for justice there. Even the authorities and the
attorneys will go crazy. It is vyavahar when a person practices
benevolence and it is also vyavahar when a person is being
malevolent. If you bring in an arbitrator to carry out justice, he
will start making all kinds of demands on you – bring me some
tea and snacks!
