Gratitude for the One Who Releases You from the
Bondage of Karma
No one is at fault. The fault is of the person who blames
others. There is nobody at fault in this world. Everyone gets
what he or she deserves according to his or her karma. They

fulfil it.
Problems between a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-

law or is the daughter-in-law giving her mother-in-law a tough
time? If the daughter-in-law is suffering, she should understand
that it is her fault, and vice versa. If they continue to blame each
other, they will create new accounts and they will have to suffer
them again. Their accounts can only be settled through applying
knowledge of the Gnani Purush that, “The fault is of the
sufferer.”
Therefore, if you want to be liberated from this world,
you have to accept whatever comes your way, whether it is
good or bad. This way your accounts will be settled. Even eye
contact cannot take place without past accounts, so how can
these events take place without past accounts? Whatever you
have given to others, you will receive in return. If you accept it
gladly, you will be settling your account. If you do not accept

who throws the stone is not at fault, but the person who is
injured is at fault. No matter how unruly and misbehaved
