of the individuals that are likely to hurt and kill them. They have the ability to know this because they too have a soul within.
Questioner: So should we preserve their life and not kill them?
Dadashri : Yes.
Questioner : What if we utter 'Sri Rama's name as we kill them, would it not mean that they would attain a higher life form in their next life?
Moreover, there is no way out for you without paying off your debts. You will have to feed blood for having taken blood from other beings in the past. You will have to repay whomever you have troubled. All your accounts will have to be paid off. Have you seen a blood bank where people donate blood? This here is such a 'bedbug bank' which acts like a 'blood bank', where a record of all your pending accounts are kept.
Drinking Blood or Settling Accounts?
So allow the bedbug to bite you and do not let it go hungry. How can the poor, hungry bedbug leave without being fed at such a noble household as yours?
Dadashri : You will go to a lower life form for inflicting suffering on the mosquito.
Questioner : Do mosquitoes bite saints?
Dadashri : They bite even the Lord. They used to bite Lord Mahavir a lot. They simply would not leave without collecting on their debts.
Your Own Debts
If you cannot tolerate their bites, just take them outside, but if you do have the strength, let them feed off you and then let them go. In doing this, they are doing you a big favor. They liberate you from your sense of attachment to your body. The message the bedbug comes with is, "Why are you asleep (spiritually asleep)? Get your work done!" They are like the watchmen that stand guard to alert you.
The Law Is Maintained
Recognize that when a single mosquito even touches you, it is exact. It is meant to be. If you were to be bitten on your hand, it would not be able to bite you on your leg, even if it wanted to! How can this world be wrong when it has been arranged with such precision? This precise arrangement is the *regulator of the world and continuously keeps this world in *regulation'. I am making this statement based on my own vision.
'Hitlerism' Prohibited Everywhere
No one in this world is in a position to hurt or hinder you, therefore if anything happens to you, do not blame the world: the fault is your own. Everything that you experience in your life is the echo of all the meddling you, yourself did in your previous life. You will not have such echoes if you had not meddled.
Not even a single mosquito can bite you unless there had
Questioner: Mosquitoes are a nuisance! What can we do about them?
Dadashri : Understand that anything in this world that aggravates you, does so within the prescribed limits of nature's law. Your suffering too is within this law. If you want to be free of these mosquitoes, sleep inside a mosquito net but do not kill them.
