Spiritual Development through Conflicts: Not
Reacting to
Conflict Increases the Energies Within
You are the owner of the entire universe. So do not harass
or interfere with any living being (jiva). Help them if you can,
and there is no problem if you cannot, but there should not be
any interference with them or harassment towards them.
Questioner: Does that mean that we should consider the
other soul as the supreme Soul (parmatma)?
Dadashri: No, do not consider him so, this would be
wrong; he really is a parmatma, the supreme Soul-Self! That
which is false, you may remember or you may not, whereas here
one really is the supreme Soul. But these supreme souls
(parmatmas) have come in the form of a vibhuti (vibhuti as
the manifestation of the magnificence, splendor, energies and
glory of the absolute pure Soul in a human body); they are
nothing else. Then, even if a person is begging, he too is a
vibhuti. People generally refer to a king as a vibhuti and not
a beggar. From the original supreme Soul, extra (vishesh) qualities
and attributes have arisen, giving result to an extra form (vishesh
roop). That is called vibhuti and that verily is God; is it not?
Therefore, you must not interfere with or harass anyone. If the
other person interferes, then you should tolerate it because when
God interferes, then we must accept it.
We, the Self, are truly not this worldly form (vyavahar
swaroop). This, the worldly life, is all a temporary adjustment.
