Aptavani-6
Questioner: The same words are spoken to five different
people, but each person is hurt to a different degree. What can
I do about that?
Dadashri: You should have the awareness and then speak.
Do your best according to your understanding. There is no
solution otherwise. Now, even when ‘Chandubhai’ is talking
justly, the other person may still be hurt. What can one do then?
What is the solution? This happens only with some individuals
(with whom you have karmic account), not with everyone. So
here, if there are no counter-attacks, only then will your ‘fireworks’
stop. Otherwise, if one person sets off sparks, sparks will fly
from you too, even if you do not wish them to. So the sparks
will cease only if everyone decides that they want to stop them,
and not otherwise.
Questioner: Does the new code give its effect only in the
next life or can it give effect in this life too?
Dadashri: What would happen if a potter were to place
his earthenware to bake in a kiln and then remove them
prematurely within an hour?
Your acceptance of, ‘The next life will be filled with
everything working well,’ is the reason why you have faith in me
and keep listening to me for hours on end. In this life, your
speech, which is the result of taped codes from your past life,
will be exhausted and then your speech will not be hurtful
anymore.
Questioner: So then, will one become silent (maun)?
Dadashri: Yes, silence will be there. By silence it does
not mean a silence where no words will be uttered; silence
means only that speech which is necessary for basic worldly
interactions will come forth. That which was filled into the ‘tank’
will be emptied for sure.
