ripe. After this Gnan unfolded within me, I have not seen any living being at fault. When you acquire this vision, you will have acquired the vision of Lord Mahavir. Who did Lord Mahavir see at fault when the shepherd stuck thorns in his ears?
Questioner: His own karma.
Dadashri: He saw his own karma. Sangam Dev (celestial being) used all his powers to torment the Lord when he was deep in meditation. He sent poisonous insects and serpents to bite Lord Mahavir, even then who did the Lord see as guilty? The Lord saw his own karma.
When the shepherd pushed thorns into the Lord's ears, the Lord immediately saw in his Gnan that his own karma had now come into fruition and therefore did not see his tormentor at fault.
You should not blame anyone in this world. I never blame anyone. No one is at fault. Even when the Lord saw everyone as faultless, who are we to see faults in others? Are we better than the Lord?
A person can be called Mahavir if he never sees faults in anyone. One can only be a true disciple of Lord Mahavir when he sees decreasing numbers of faults in others. He may not completely stop seeing faults in others, but at least there is a decrease in the number of times that he does. One Becomes Vitarag When He Sees Himself In Others
The reason behind why you see faults in others is that your vision is unnatural and imperfect. It is a vision that is tainted with the intellect. The intellect always creates differences. It creates a division of 'me' and 'you' and 'mine' and 'yours'. As long as you see faults in others, you have attained nothing. I feel no separation with anyone. I feel one with everyone. The person
whose visions becomes one with the world, is God. The division of 'mine' and yours', and 'ours' and yours' prevails in the social religions and its practices. These social religions are responsible for creating arift between people and causing confusion and chaos. The more the people practice these religions, the more confused they become and more worries they invite.
The Imagination Of A Multitude of Opinions Krupadudev has said, Sectarian views, self-guiding whims, Are not the right and practical worldly interactions.
Not only is the imagination an imagination, but it also acts as a veil of ignorance. Nevertheless God has called it dharma, it acts to serve its belief. You should not meddle in anyone's belief. You cannot tell anyone that his or her beliefs are wrong. You should never say this to anyone, ever. That is maintaining impartiality in matters of religion.
Ionly saying that these sectarian views and self guided whims are wrong, in order to explain things to you. When we talk about other religions, it is not to criticize them. There is no criticism here whatsoever. Where there is any criticism, the science of the Vitaraag does not exist; there is no unity or dharma there.
Regardless of which religious sect a person belongs to, there should be no criticism about it. If you ask the Vitaraag for his opinion about a certain religion which you consider to be blind in its faith, the Lord would reply that no matter what you see, those who follow that religion are correct from their perspective. Even the person who steals is correct by his viewpoint. Why are you meddling in that? You only have to see them as faultless. If you have this faultless vision, then use it, but otherwise do not see
