The Internal Evidences Create the Result
Questioner: Does that mean we are the ones who ruin everything?
Dadashri: We are verily the ones who ruin that which is ours. Whatever obstacles we encounter, we have created them for sure. What is the way to improve a person who is obstinate and objectionable? No matter how much pain( dukh) a person causes you, if you do not harbor any negative feelings for him, then that is the best way to improve him. In that way he will improve and things will improve for you too. But worldly people will not refrain from having negative thoughts about such a person. We the mahatmas are told to‘ deal with equanimity’;‘ with equanimity’ means we should not have any kind of thoughts about him.
If pratikraman( ask for forgiveness from the pure Soul of the one you have‘ hurt,’ coupled with remorse of the wrongdoing) is done for a tiger, even the tiger will do what you tell him. There is no difference between a tiger and a human. The difference lies in your vibrations( spandan); that has an affect. As long as you have in your mind the awareness that the‘ tiger is a violent animal,’ then it will be violent. And if you have the awareness that the tiger is a Shuddhatma( pure Soul), then it is Shuddhatma for sure. Everything is possible.

Nothing is attained by cutting off the leaves or the branches of the tree. The work is done only if the tree is removed along with its roots. Here, in Akram Vignan, we place a‘ medicine’ in the taproot, the main root system; thereafter, the entire tree dries up and dies.
