Money
Questioner : How much should we expand our business?
Dadashri : You can expand your business to the point
where you can sleep soundly. You may even expand to the
point where you are able to remove it from your mind when you
want to sleep. You should not invite trouble, which is unnecessary.
Is there not a relationship with the shopkeeper and the
customer? Does that relationship end when the shopkeeper
closes his shop? No it does not. The customer will remember
how the shopkeeper treated him. He will remember if the
shopkeeper sold him bad merchandise. People will always
remember and bind revenge, so even if you close your business
in this life, they will not leave you alone in your next life. They
will not rest until they have avenged themselves. This is the law
of hurt and revenge. That is why the Lord has said to become
free from vengeance by any means that you can.
Once an acquaintance of mine borrowed some money
from me. He never came back to return the money he borrowed.
I understood then that this was because of some unsettled
account from past life . I told him that he did not have to return
the money and that he was free to keep it. If you are able to
break the recurring cycle of vengeance by letting go of your
money, do so. Break the vengeance by whatever way you can
otherwise even one person’s vengeance will lead to your
wandering life after life.
Even if hundreds of thousands of rupees were at stake,
I would let it be. Because that money is bound to go and I am
bound to remain. Whatever the situation, I will not let any kashay
take place. What remains to be said even if you loose a hundred
thousand rupees? At least I am still here and the rest is
dispensable.
