life without Conflict
life without Conflict
was very heavy to begin with, it will take some time and you have to be patient. No one can take away anything from you. As long as you have clothes to wear and two meals a day, what more do you need?
Even if they lock you up in your room before they leave, all you have to concern yourself with is whether you get two meals a day or not. There is no problem if they lock you up in your room. You should just go to sleep. You had created such karma of revenge in your past life, which is why in this life they lock you up before they leave. It is nothing but revenge, bound in a state of ignorance. If there was any kind of understanding or rationale to it, we can try to solve the problem but when you cannot make any sense of it, how are you to resolve the matter? So you must let go in such matters.
Gnan is Freedom From All Conflicts
free from all torments and illusion.
Gnan Tested In Adversity Questioner: If someone is playing a big drum, why does it upset an irritable person so much?
Dadashri: It is because he does not like it. If a person is playing the drum, you have to say, "You play the drum very well. By saying this you will not be affected internally. Once you have the opinion of, 'This is annoying,' then everything from within becomes ruined. So you have to make a positive comment in a 'dramatic' (make believe) manner.
Because of this Gnan you will be able to make all kinds of payments of karmic debts. This Gnan is extremely beneficial in difficult circumstances. You will be tested and will pass. Even if you practice Gnan everyday, it will not be as well tested as when you face difficult circumstances.
The Dance Of Past Karmas I understand that it would be a different matter if after quarreling with your wife you would have nothing to do with her. But you have no choice, you will have to get along with her so all the quarreling is useless and wrong. I am always aware of the fact that after an hour or two, we will have to speak with each other and therefore I do not harp on anything. It is a different matter if your opinion will never need to be changed and if you were never to sit with your wife again, then your quarreling is correct. But here you have to sit and dine with her the very next day, so of what use is all the drama between the two of you? Will you not have to think on this? Instead what people do is cook the seeds before they sow them and so all their effort is in vain.
Now you have to break free from all revenge, so come to me and take knowledge of Self-Realization, then you will be set free. You have to become free from all revenge in this very life and I will show you the way. Why do people seek death when they are fed up with life? It is because they do cannot deal with this kind of stress. Surely you will have to understand everything. How long can you continue living under so much pressure? The life of human beings today has become like that of insects, they are in perpetual torment. Why should there be any torment after one is born as a human? Is such a state becoming for the one who is the lord of the fourteen universes? The whole world is in a state of torment and if there is no torment, then there prevails a state of illusion. The world is not outside the parameters of these two states. When you become the enlightened Self, you are
