The Flawless Vision

- Get rid of your vision that makes you see faults in others, otherwise your progress will be hindered.
Questioner: If we continue to see faults in others, do we not regress spiritually?
Dadashri: You will be destroyed. Vyavasthit is the doer of everything. After acquiring this Gnan, everything that happens is dictated by vyavasthit.
Indestructible Mistake
but why do I see people as being at fault?
Dadashri: You are not applying the Gnan in what you see. You are letting ignorance prevail. If you were to wear 'Dada's' glasses, you would not see anyone's faults, but instead you keep wearing those 'other glasses! There is no one at fault in this whole world, this is my most invaluable discovery.
Steer Away From That Which Sees Faults
Do not see anyone's faults. The moment you cease to do this, you will become wise. In reality, no one is at fault. People are quick to become judges. They cannot see their own faults and yet they are too eager to see faults in others. A human being has the power to see faults, but this power is meant for him to see his own faults and not those of others. By misusing this power, you weaken your ability to see your own faults. Does anyone appreciate being told of his or her faults?
Questioner: No. Dadashri: So then should you not stop? Who is at Fault When Vyavasthit is the Doer?
You should be firm in your determination to maintain awareness. You (the Pure Soul) can never make mistakes and there is no question or doubt about this. But the one that makes mistakes should understand and be aware of the mistakes. And although he understands that vyavasthit is the 'doer', he must do pratikraman because he becomes instrumental' in the process. He must repent and be of the opinion things should not be this way': otherwise there is no progress. The doer is vyavasthit and that is why we never look at anyone's faults.
You should stop seeing other people's faults in this satsang altogether. No one is at fault. Everything is done by vyavasthit.
If you have made mistakes elsewhere, you will be able to destroy them here (with Gnan), but if you make mistakes here in the satsang environment, amongst other mahatmas), you will create permanent bondage. That is why I tell you to erase your sins. You can do this by admitting your mistakes and vow never to repeat them. I will always tell you that you should never see anyone's faults here, you can go see faults elsewhere. You will be able to erase the faults you see outside of satsang environment, but the faults you see here will bind you in such a way that you will never be able to become free. Do not see faults in anyone, no matter how inappropriate the person's behavior may be. And if you happen to see someone's faults, erase it immediately otherwise your own mistake will become indestructible.
You must erase your mistakes immediately. The moment you get a negative thought, erase it immediately. You should not concern yourself with whether someone is behaving correctly or incorrectly.
This is the Satsang - place of worship. If you make mistakes when you are rooted in your satsang, your mistakes become indestructible. If you make a mistake at home, you can erase that mistake here in satsang, but mistakes made in satsang,
