One Suffers Because of One’s Own Mistake
If a person suffers, it is because of his own mistakes. If

real Law, catches the real culprit. This law is exact and no one
can ever change it. There is no law in this world that can inflict
suffering upon anyone.
Surely there must be some fault of yours so that the other
person is blaming you. Why not destroy that mistake? In reality,
no person in this world can cause hurt to another. This is how
independent every living being is. If there is any suffering, it is
because of one’s own past mistakes. Once these mistakes are
destroyed, nothing is left pending.
The world is not meant for suffering; it is meant for
enjoying. People receive that which is due to them according to
their karmic account. Why are some people happy while
others are suffering? It is because they have brought such
accounts with them. If you are suffering, it is because of your
own fault. No one else is to blame. From the worldly
perspective, the one who inflicts pain is at fault, but God’s law
says that the fault is of the suffe rer.
