The Effect of Hurting Someone Creates Echoes
When you hurt someone, and you can see the pain you
are causing that person, you have the awareness that you are
hurting them. That is the attribute of the ego called sensitiveness.
Sensitiveness is egoism of a kind. As that egoism begins to
dissolve, the other person will not experience any hurt. The
other person will get hurt as long as you have egoism.
Questioner: This statement is applicable to your state.
Should something not arise for us too?
Dadashri: Yes, it must arise.
Questioner: But this solution is only for one’s own self,
is it not?
Dadashri: Not just for one’s own self, but slowly and
surely the liberating solution (ukel) must occur for everyone. It
is such that only after attaining the liberating solution for one’s
own self will there be the same for the other person. Others will
find a solution only when you have the solution. But as long as
the self, the worldly self, i.e., ‘Chandulal,’ has the egoism, the
other person will, by rule, experience a reaction. Such egoism
must dissolve, for sure.
All this is nothing but effects! There is no such thing as
misery (dukh) in this world. It is only and simply a wrong belief.
One believes it to be the truth. Now according to one’s vision
(drashti), that is how it really is, is it not? Therefore, what do
you have to do in order to remain unaffected? You have to
become pure. Everything becomes pure when you become pure.
