is a pending account with an uncle, its discharge is inevitable,
and the uncle is just a nimit.
This world is not meant for suffering, it is yours to enjoy.
One experiences only that pleasure or pain which is in his
account. Why does one experience only happiness and another
only misery? It is because of the kind of accounts he has brought
with him. Everyday we hear stories in the news: A man is
robbed in a taxi. A husband and wife were tied up and robbed
in their apartment, etc. There is no need for you to fear it will
happen to you too, after reading such news. This projection
(vikalp) of fear verily is the fault and will have to suffer its
consequences. Instead, why not move about naturally? You will
be robbed only if it is in your account, otherwise no one has the
time to meddle with you. ‘The fault is of the sufferer’, hence you
should go about without any fear. The newspapers will report all
kinds of things, but does that mean you have to be scared? It
is a good thing that the divorce rate is low, but when it increases,
people will find a cause to worry about their own divorces! Do
not be afraid even if a hundred thousand people are robbed.
There is no one above you as your boss.
If an astrologer reads the palm of your hand and tells you
that you have four situations that could cause death (ghaat),
then you have to be careful during those situations. Now if you
overcome one such situation and find yourself living, then feel
happy that there is one less in the balance. In the same token,
when someone insults you or you have to face an unpleasant
situation, you should be happy that there is one less account in
the remaining balance. Instead, people become engrossed in
such situations. That should not happen. If you have an account
of a thousand abuses and someone abuses you, you should tell
yourself that at least one is gone from the thousand, now there
are only 999 left! You should not have the burden of, ‘Why did
he insult me?’ If you surrender your miseries to ‘Dada’, then you
are free. ‘We’ have come to take away the miseries of this
