The Flawless Vision
Do your mistakes shine within?
Questioner: Yes I can see them. Is it because I have the
vision of flawless conduct (I am pure Soul), but my current conduct
(Chandulal’s) is flawed that I am able to see?
Dadashri: Yes, instantly. The Flawless (The Self) is aware
of the flaws (The relative self, Chandulal).
Highest Spiritual Effort: Samayik
Thus faults begin to be seen. As they are seen they leave.
Can you see some of your mistakes? Can you see at least
five to ten a day? Once you begin to see them, you will begin to
see more, increasingly more. The more mistakes you see, the
more the veils of ignorance that cloud your vision will break,
allowing you to see even more.
You may not be able to stop certain mistakes (heavy karma
effect). These will only stop after you experience the suffering
they entail. I know that such karma will not end without the
suffering. Only the experience through the suffering will release
one from it.
You can put in as much spiritual effort as you want. Many
of the mahatmas are already doing this. There is purushaarth
(highest inner effort), but not everyone knows how to do it. Doing
samayik (to view the flaws via the flawless state, to view the
mistakes of the relative self by being the Real) is a great purushaarth.
The nature of a mistake is such that the moment it is discerned, it
begins to dissipate. It does not linger on. There is nothing wrong
with making a mistake, but you should be able to see that mistake.
There is no punishment for making mistakes, but there is a reward
for seeing those mistakes. No one is able to see his own mistakes.
You become impartial after being Self-Realized, and that is when
