not have to suffer any pain that comes at the hands of others (his
nimit). One is bound by his own faults, and he who has broken
the bondage of all faults, becomes the absolute Self! The Vitarag
Lords broke all their bondages of faults and attained moksha!
We have to attain liberation in the same way. The Vitarags
represent our ultimate goal (dhyeya) and the manifest Gnani
Purush is the original connection for that very purpose! To say
‘it is not my fault’ is the biggest fault; it creates a dense layer of
covering over that fault.
Krupaludev has said: “I am a receptacle of infinite faults,
O Compassionate One!”
When one is a ‘vessel of infinite faults’, there are faults at
every step. Alas! Our existence here in this world, is it not the
biggest blunder of all? How can one blame others when he is
himself is full of faults? To find faults in others is a very dense
illusion. There is nothing worse than that.
‘The one, who abolishes even a single fault of his own, is
called God.’
‘In this world, there is no one superior to you. This, I
guarantee you. No father figure (bapo) is your superior. Only
your faults are your superior (boss).’
- Dadashri
Once the answer to the question ‘Who am I?’ is known,
one progresses rapidly on the path of abolishing all faults and
ultimately becomes parmatma, the supreme Self!
The rule of the world is that if someone says something
bad to you, you will see that person as being at fault. You will
question, ‘Why did he say that to me?’ or ‘Why did he do that
to me?’ Thus, you will believe that you have been subjected to
injustice. In fact, justice is not to be sought. Whatever suitable
or unsuitable treatment you receive from others, it is due to your
own karmic account, so where is the need to seek for justice in
this world? Everybody’s worldly interactions (vyavahar) are
