The Flawless Vision
become flawless, one is liberated. What a great statement! The fundamental problem is one's deluded belief (I am Chandulal), and it is this that creates bondage.
Dadashri: Yes. And unless you have this science, you will not have such a clear explanation. Even the scriptures do not elucidate this; the scriptures merely tell you to do good deeds and be good. No one except the Gnani Purush can explain the intricacies of this science.
People can understand through their intellect that they are making mistakes, that they are making big mistakes, but if they don't meet a Gnani Purush, what can they do? They just go on suffering. They try to analyze everything with their intellects, but they still fail to draw the right understanding. Their confusion will dissolve when they meet a Gnani Purush. Unless he can explain and solve all your puzzles, he is not a Gnani. Everything has to be clarified.
The Conviction Of A Mistake Is Enough
People now admit that they are aware of their faults, but now they want to be rid of them. They tell me that they will suffer through anything, provided that I get rid of their faults for them. How can this be done?
Here is the answer: A person goes to a nightclub. There his experience of pleasure convinces him that going to clubs is good for pleasure. His conviction of this knowledge is now established. This is how the mistakes enter.
Likewise, how do I proceed with those who want to be rid of their mistakes? These are the people who assert that they have no faults; it is others that have faults. I change this conviction of theirs and establish a new conviction that all the faults that arise are one's own and that the world is faultless. They then become absolutely convinced of this. They even agree and accept that all the faults are theirs only.
In response to their request that I get rid of their mistakes, I tell them that nothing more needs to be done. The conviction has changed, and the mistakes begin to leave automatically. All you have to do is to have an open mind within and tell the faults to leave.
The conviction is the key. With conviction faults enter, and with conviction they leave. You do not have to labor to do anything. Do you understand all this?
The conviction must not be stained.
You must find out how your faults and mistakes appeared in the first place. Then you will know how to be rid of them. When the fault entered, one did not have to force it in; it came in of its own accord. When you did not do anything for it to enter, in the same token you will not have to do anything to make it leave.
Questioner: Dada, you are not addressing the symptoms but treating the root cause. Where will we find such doctors like you?
Dadashri: There are no such doctors anywhere. That is why there are so many problems everywhere. Not only the doctors but also the right medicine is also not available and that is why chaos proliferates. That is why people try and continue to change the effects, the result of past life karma which cannot be changed.
The fault was created because of your initial belief and
Now people expect me to remove their faults. But my dear, how did they enter in the first place? Why did these mistakes take hold within you?
