60 Life Without Conflict
conflict and settle matters with equanimity, but the other person keeps harassing and insulting us?
Dadashri: Nothing. That is your karmic account and therefore you should make a decision that you want to settle with equanimity. You should remain within the confines of your principles and intentions and continue to solve your own puzzle yourself.
Questioner: When someone insults me, is it because of my ego that I feel insulted?
Dadashri: When someone insults you, he is actually dissolving your ego, and that is your dramatic ego( the relative or discharge ego). Whatever excess ego you may have, becomes dissolved when someone insults you. What harm is it going to cause you? These kinds of karmas prevent your freedom. Even if there is a small child in front of you, you have to tell him to free you.
If someone does injustice to you and you wonder and question why, then you will bind karma. It is on account of your mistake that he has to render the injustice to you. How can one’ s understanding reach this level? On the contrary, people will cause havoc. In the eyes of God, no one is doing justice or injustice; everything is simply‘ correct’. How can one’ s understanding reach this level? If differences in opinion at home become less, there will be less quarreling and consequently, love will increase amongst everyone. If this happens, then know that Gnan has been understood and not otherwise.
Gnan says that you are foolish to look for justice. Penance is the solution for that.
In God’ s eyes, if someone does you injustice, it is correct. The world on the other hand, will say that he did wrong.
