No, it is not. Once you throw the ball, it falls under the control
of another power and the results are inevitable. So whatever the
manner in which you threw the ball; if you threw it from a height
of three feet, as a result it will rebound to the height of two feet
and if you threw it from a height of ten feet, will bounce back
seven feet. But results will automatically come to an end; the
bouncing will automatically stop, provided You do not stick your
hand in it again.
Questioner: At such a time, can we say that one gets
drawn into doing wrong because he has been doing so from time
immemorial?
Dadashri: It is nothing like that. This is all dependent on
vyavasthit shakti – the energy of scientific circumstantial
evidences. Therefore, it is not one’s mistake; all he needs to
understand and know is the answer to, ‘Who am I?’ He needs
Self-realization. When he realizes that, only then will he have the
energy and vigor of freedom. All this bondage continues because
he does not have this realization.
This science of ours is short and simple. If one meets a
Gnani Purush and attains Gnan from Him, then it is simple. But
nothing happens if he does not meet a Gnani Purush; he cannot
accomplish any of his spiritual work. He can go to a higher life
form even if he does not meet a Gnani Purush; he can bind
meritorious karma, but he cannot attain liberation.
