him, he curses you. It is because of changes in your internal state that the other person treats you in this manner.
Questioner: Does that mean we are responsible for their ill behavior?
Dadashri: We have spoilt everything of ourselves. We ourselves have created whatever obstacles we face. The other person is not responsible at all. So how can we rectify this? No matter how much suffering the person you are dealing with subjects you to, you should not have a single negative thought about him. This is the solution for making him come around. By doing this, everything becomes better for you and for the other person. The people of this world will have negative thoughts. That is why I am telling you to deal with every situation in life with equanimity. By equanimity it means that you should not have any negative thoughts about the other person. (185)
When you are trying to collect from your debtor and he is not able to pay you because he has no money, then you should not be persistent. He will bind vengeance against you and should he take birth as a ghost in the celestial world, he will harass you to no end.

Some people call their debtors all kinds of names even before their case goes to trial. They will say: 'You imbecile, you have no sense.' To these people I ask, and you have a lot of sense?'

As far as the law of nature is concerned, people are made to pay back the sum with interest. A person may not have any recourse under the worldly law but under nature's law he will be paid back with interest. Therefore if someone is not paying you back the three hundred rupees he borrowed from you, you should at least make the attempt to collect it. Why should you do this? Because if this person is not paying you back even the three hundred, just think about the interest nature will assess on this amount. And in a matter of one hundred to two hundred years, how large will this amount become? Therefore you should try to collect the money from him so that he would not be subject to such severe consequences. But if he insists on not paying you and puts himself in this predicament, then you are not responsible for

Questioner: What should we do if he does not return the money even when he has it?
Dadashri: What can you do even then? The most you can do is file a claim in the court. If you beat him up, the police will arrest you.
It is best if you do not take the matter to the courts. A wise man will not do so, his premise would be: 'If the money is mine, it

You should not have any hard feelings. Just maintain a cordial relationship with him; even play cards with him because you are not going to lose
