This is a very subtle point. If you hurt someone’s ego,
then you have to ask for inner strength (in accordance with this
kalam) from the Lord within. The opinion you had previously,
of hurting someone’s ego, has now changed. You are not held
responsible for your actions. Your actions are contrary to your
intent (bhaav) of not hurting anyone. Your actions are a result
of your past life and are not under your control.
Questioner : What does it mean to be separate from
one’s opinion?
Dadashri : ‘Dada Bhagwan’, the Lord within, now knows
that you no longer have intentions of hurting anyone’s ego but
it still happens. In contrast, the people in the world hurt others
and are in agreement with their actions. Through the bhavna of
this kalam, your opinion is separated from your actions.
Therefore, you are free from any future negative consequences.
You do not have to do anything. All you have to do is ask
for the strength. The result of this bhavna will come in due time.
Questioner : Asking for the strength from within is fine,
but what must be done to ensure that we do not hurt anyone’s
ego?
Dadashri : No, nothing needs to be done. All you have
to do is to read the kalam. You do not have to do anything
else. Your action of hurting the ego of the other person is an
effect (result from a discharge of past karma) of causes (charge
karma - i.e. seeds of new karma) that were sown in your past
life. The result cannot be changed, but with awareness the cause
can be changed. The change of opinion changes the cause. That
is why your responsibility ends after you recite this kalam.
Questioner : And this should be said sincerely.
Dadashri : All this has to be done sincerely. Whoever
