The Flawless Vision
you eventually find a solution?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Does anyone come to give you this insight?
This intuition is the only power within you that has the potential to
liberate you. Every living being is endowed with the power of
intuition.
Even a cow that is trapped will find a way out because of
the intuition within her. You can increase this power by destroying
your mistakes. The more mistakes you destroy the stronger this
internal power will become. When you confess your mistakes,
your strength begins to grow.
How Can You Lose Your Reputation When You Never
Had One to Begin With?
Can people not at least tell that they have done something
wrong when they get angry? They realize that they have
overreacted. This means that they understand their mistake. If a
guru is angrily scolding his disciple and a nobleman asks him why
he is venting so much anger, the guru tells him that his anger is
justified because his disciple deserves it. The fool! He knows
that he is doing something wrong when he gets angry and yet he
covers up his mistake. Instead he should admit that he made a
mistake and that he will not repeat it. Thus he will overcome his
mistake.
Why should you defend your mistakes in the presence of
certain people? Is it to preserve your reputation? Do you not
know that those very people have no reputation to speak of?
People in the guise of a façade portray a reputation, otherwise
what reputation do they have? Do you see anyone here with a
reputation?
