There is no winner when there is jealousy
Wherever you look there is a racecourse. All these
people have entered the racecourse. At home, there is a
racecourse even with the wife! If two bullocks are walking side
by side and one tries to get ahead of the other just a little, the
other will also exerts more.
Questioner: Why is that?
Dadashri: It is because they have entered the racecourse
(into competition). If the two are walking side by side and one
of them gets ahead a little, the one left behind will feel jealous
(irsha) and wonders how he can make him fall behind.
There is no winner in this race of jealousy (irsha). I do
not enter into such a race. It is a race where one will die huffing
and puffing without getting anywhere. Even the one who is full
of intellect will get exhausted and in his latter years of life will
accuse others, ‘He cheated me and the other fellow cheated me’
and on and on. Hey you! You got cheated even at the age of
eighty?! You will run in the racecourse for countless lives and
you will still be cheated at the end. This is how the world is.
Everything will go to waste and on top of that, you will also
suffer miserably in the process. Instead discover your rightful
place, your home of bliss, the Self and then run to it.
No one has been able to win the world and that is why
this discovery of ‘ours’ is very profound, it is one which allows
the world to win. Just say, ‘I sit here having lost but if you want
to win, then come here.’ This discovery will amaze the world
and ‘we’ have won the world through it. Otherwise, no one has
won it. Each of ‘our’ discoveries is such that they help the
world to win. This is Akram Vignan! The whole science is
Akram. This is not the case in the Kramic path. You can never
say that you have no competence and aptitude (barkat) in the
Kramic path.
