Life Without Conflict

anxieties and suffers upon the thoughts, ‘What if there is an
accident?’ No one is going to crash with you. All you have to
do is to exercise reasonable caution and proceed, in all matters
of life. Your only responsibility is to look in front and walk, that
is all. In reality, even that is not your responsibility. Nature will
make you do even that. But instead, people are not only
inattentive to what is ahead of them, they interfere in the
process, exercise their ego, ‘I am doing all this.’ Nature is
beautiful. If within you there runs a factory, which is so
complex, don’t you think that everything on the outside will run
smoothly also? Nothing on the outside needs to be controlled.
What do you think needs to be controlled?
Questioner : If someone does something wrong, that
too is not under his control?
Dadashri : No, he does not have control. And he
cannot make it go wrong either. It is because his intentions were
wrong in his past life, that today he has done wrong. He had
interfered in the workings of nature in the past life. Just observe
the animals around you, the crows, the dogs, cats etc. They do
not have hospitals or legal courts and yet do they not resolve
their conflicts? When two bulls fight, they fight a lot but after
they separate, do they go looking for a court? If you see them
the next day, they are both roaming around leisurely. But the
foolish human beings have courts and hospitals and even then
they are constantly unhappy. They are always complaining.
What can you call these people? Just look at how attractive the
sparrows, the cat, and the dogs look. They do not take any
special herbal concoctions during the winter and look at what
humans do in cold climate. They take all kinds of concoctions,
and even then, they look so unattractive and ugly. Because of
the ego, even the most beautiful person appears ugly. Therefore,
there must be some mistake somewhere. Should one not think
about this?
