The Flawless Vision
Questioner: Dada, you have to remain within the limits of this path of liberation, and at the same time carry out your worldly interactions. You have to be careful not to hurt each and every individual that comes to you, and yet at the same time, you often have to speak harshly with some people in order to help them be rid of their disease, which hinders their spiritual progress. You have to do all this Dada!
The Flawless Vision see me hitting someone, she would not question it. She would automatically assume that I am doing it for the benefit of that person.
Questioner: That is the way it is.
Dadashri: How can the intellect of the one who sees my fault reach this understanding?
Questioner: There is nothing but pure compassion and intent of salvation here.
Dadashri: He too will gradually come to appreciate this.
Questioner: How can one see fault in a Gnani, when according to this Gnan one is not to see fault of anyone in this world? The world is to be seen as faultless. It is through one's own fault that one sees fault in others.
Dadashri: Yes, but the poor man is not aware of this, otherwise he would not do this. He would not take such a risk. It is a grave risk. That is why I asked that gentleman to come after eight o'clock, because if he was to see me drinking one and a half cups of tea, his intellect will make him question why I have to drink a cup and a half and why can I not be satisfied with just one?
Questioner: All one needs to see is your internal detachment, even when you are drinking tea!
Dadashri: From where will one acquire the ability to see in this way? It is good enough that they find some inner peace because of this Gnan.
Questioner: Dada you say that you never lose sight of your aim for final liberation, not even for a moment.
Dadashri: Not for a minute, not even for a moment.
Dadashri: And sometimes I even read storybooks about outlaws and bandits!
Questioner: You have to do that too and at the same time not lose sight of liberation. Infinite Grace Of The Gnani For The Simple-Hearted
Even after acquiring this path of liberation, this person cannot progress as fast as you. Spiritual apathy is inevitable and I have to carry' many people. Some people are like kittens, the cat has to carry her kittens herself, whereas you are like the baby monkey, which clings to its mother and never lets go. But I have to carry a person, like this man here. His simple-hearted and straightforwardness pleases me and that is why I carry' him around.
Straightforward people are very open. They open all the cupboards. See it all, they say. This is what we have. And deceitful ones will open only one cupboard, and say that the second cupboard will be opened only if Dada asks and not otherwise. And these others will open up everything even before being asked. Do you understand straightforwardness? Virtues You See in Others Will Manifest Within You
The virtue that you see in others will manifest in you. If you consider a person virtuous because he does not retaliate, even
