The Fault is of the Sufferer

karma. Everyone is suffering, however, it is not that they are
committing faults today. All this is happening as an effect of
karma from the past life. Today, the person may be remorseful,
but that ‘contract’ [from the past life] has already been made,
so what can be done? There is no other option but for it to
come into effect.
In this world, if you truly want to find out whose fault
it is, then the one suffering is at fault. Is the mother-in-law
giving the daughter-in-law pain or is the daughter-in-law
giving the mother-in-law pain? Who has to suffer in that? If
it is the mother-in-law then it is the fault of the mother-in-law.
If the mother-in-law is giving the daughter-in-law pain, then
the daughter-in-law should understand, ‘It is my fault.’ Based
on Dada’s ‘Knowledge of the Self’ she should understand,
‘There must be a fault on my part and that is indeed why she is
hurling abuses at me.’ So she should not find any faults in the
mother-in-law. By finding faults in the mother-in-law results
in increased entanglements and complexities. Moreover, if
the daughter-in-law is harassing the mother-in-law, then with
Dada’s Knowledge, the mother-in-law should understand,
‘The fault is of the sufferer and because of that, I should
accept it.’
If the mother-in-law scolds the daughter-in-law, and yet,
the daughter-in-law remains happy, while the mother-in-law
suffers, then the fault is considered to be of the mother-in-law.
After instigating your sister-in-law, if you have to suffer, then
it is your fault. If you do not instigate her, and yet, she comes
to give you pain, then there must be something pending from
the past life, which she is repaying back. At that time, do not
make another mistake. Otherwise, you will have to suffer yet
again! Therefore, if you want to become free, then whatever
bitter or sweet repayments come your way, you should accrue
them. The past karmic account will be repaid. In this world, it
