reappear elsewhere. At certain times you will not see a single
insect, while sometimes they seem to be abundant. This is because
insects are seasonal. During such times, they will keep thriving no
matter how much insecticide you use.
Pay Off Your Debts Fast
Questioner: Is it true that a bedbug only takes the portion
that is owed to it from the overall account?
Dadashri: I have always paid off my debts to them, which
is why I only come across a few now. Even now, if a bedbug
were to visit me, it would instinctively recognize that it is not going
to be harmed. They know me. They also know the nature of the
individuals that are likely to hurt and kill them. They have the ability
to know this because they too have a soul within.
Besides, there is no way out for you without paying off
your debts. You will have to feed blood for taking blood from
other beings in your past. You will have to repay whomever you
have troubled. All your accounts will have to be paid off. Have
you seen a blood bank where people donate blood? This here is
such a ‘bedbug bank’ which acts like a ‘blood bank’, where a
record of all your pending accounts are kept.
Drinking Blood or Settling Accounts?
So let the bedbug bite you and do not let it go hungry. How
can the poor, hungry bedbug leave without being fed at such a
noble household as yours?
If you cannot tolerate their bites, just take them outside,
but if you do have the strength, let them feed off you and then let
them go. In doing this, they are doing you a big favor. They liberate
you from your sense of attachment to your body. The message
the bedbug comes with is, “Why are you asleep (spiritually asleep)?
Get your work done!” They are like the watchmen that stand
guard to alert you.
