Questioner: The loss remains the same.
Dadashri: Then what is the point of stopping the
worrying? Should you not continue to worry until you recover
the loss?
Questioner: But worrying starts again on its own and it
stops on its own.
Dadashri: When it stops, you should again say, ‘Why
have you stopped when the loss has not been recovered? Come
back.’
There is no problem of thinking about the loss, but it is
only worth thinking about it to the point where you sustain no
personal inner loss. Otherwise if worrying and suspicion stop on
their own, even if the loss is still at hand, then there is no point
of worrying or having suspicion. It is best to stop worrying, right
from the beginning.
People tend to forget all the phases. They forget the past
as they proceed forward. ‘We’ do not forget even for a second,
even if the incident occurred some forty years ago. But people
forget. It is better to forget before nature forces you to do so.
It is fruition of karma that reminds you and it is also fruition of
karma that makes you forget. So ‘You’ should pat your relative-
self on the back and tell your relative-self, Chandulal, ‘what is
‘is’ and what is ‘is not’ is not’, nothing is going to change that
which is in vyavasthit.
Therefore if you are going to worry, worry your whole life
otherwise do not. Worry about incurring a loss until it is
recovered. But like a top (toy), we remain under control of
other things and the worrying stops on its own, what is that all
about? If your worrying stops on its own even before the loss
is recovered, then why not put a stop to it from the beginning?
Does it not stop before the loss ends?
Questioner: Yes.
