claiming its own veracity and then becomes pacified. The riot then
calms down. Otherwise the thoughts will take over one by one and
never stop. This is how confusion and chaos proliferate in the world.
Where will you find such subtle and minute facts in the
scriptures? No scriptures can give you the understanding of this
world. Only the Gnani can shed light on this.
The entire worldly is engrossed in seeing faults in others.
That is the fundamental activity of this world. The person on the
path of liberation will see only his own faults and those who see
faults in others will wander around endless in this worldly life.
By harboring opinions, your vision becomes flawed. You
break your opinion through pratikraman and thereby stop the
procreation of a new mind.
After acquiring Atma Gnan (Self-Realization)
Once you acquire your true identity as being the Soul and
cease to identify with your body as the real you, you will be able to
see only your own faults, not anyone else’s. The whole world will
appear as nirdosh to you.
Many mistakes are strong/solid like ice, so how can you get
rid of them quickly? They have many layers and these layers will
be shed gradually. As you begin to see your faults, these layers will
be shed. They are like an onion that has many layers, so these
sticky mistakes will require a lot of pratikraman.
When ‘Chandubhai’ makes a mistake and ‘You’ do not like
it, that is called seeing your own faults.
Your life is the end results of your own karma of punya and
paap. When you receive praise, that is because of your punya and
when you receive insults, that is the result of your paap. Of
importance is your ability to remain neutral (samta-without raag or
dwesh) while enduring both.
