The Flawless Vision

Dadashri: Through the Vidhis (the blessings performed by Dada while the seeker is knelt at his feet). Day by day you can destroy these veils and your ability to observe will increase. These veils had obscured everything before but now you are able to see a little more each day. You cannot see all your faults at the moment but do you not see at least a few every day?
Questioner: I see a lot. Dadashri: Hundreds? Questioner: They just keep on coming like a chain.
Dadashri: Even then you cannot see them completely. These veils will remain; there are so many faults. I too continue to make very subtle mistakes even when I am engaged in doing vidhis. These mistakes do not hurt anyone but nevertheless they do occur and I too have to wash them off immediately.
Sort Your Own Grains Questioner: What if it is not in one's nature to look at the prakrutis of others?
Dadashri: It is fine if you see other's prakrutis, but you cannot find and express faults in them. You may see the fault as an object but you cannot point it out to him. What is the need for you to see their faults when they have learned to see their own?
Questioner: But what should we do if they pick out our faults?
Dadashri: If they do that and you do the same in return, things will only get worse. If you do not respond or retaliate, they will get tired of blaming you and will eventually stop. You should be looking at your own faults instead of wasting your time in looking at other people's faults. Your faults are endless and yet you look
at others. Clean up your own grains. Instead you are sorting other people's grain and milling your own without sorting it first.
Questioner: But Dada it can be that our grains are already sorted. What if people come and mix their unsorted grains in our clean grains? And we request them not to do that.
Dadashri: The rule is that no one can mess up anything that has been cleaned completely. It is because you have only partially cleaned your grains and that is why they throw things in it.
Seeing Through The Medium Of The Senses
Questioner: No Dada, but when we are trying to settle matters with equanimity, the other person continues to be very difficult, and says, do what you will, I will not cooperate.' How should we proceed?
Dadashri: All these are nothing but tricks of your intellect. All you simply have to do is observe the effects; these are all effects that cannot be changed. All you have to do is just observe the other person's prakruti. Who is behind all this meddling?
Questioner: The body?
Dadashri: No, the intellect. All that remains now is for you to simply observe the effects. Effects can never be changed. You are the Soul if you become the Observer. You become the prakruti when you look at people's faults.
Questioner: Dada some people say that they are observing themselves (Chandulal) seeing and expressing the fault of other prakrutis.
Dadashri: No the pointer of mistakes, the one who expresses mistakes of others cannot be the Observer at the same
