only. He is not at fault; he is merely an instrument (nimit) in it. Therefore, fault is of the sufferer.
A couple fights and later they go to bed not talking to each other. The wife will sleep peacefully, whereas the husband will be restless, tossing and turning in the bed. From this we should understand that he is at fault. The wife is not suffering. If the wife is tossing and turning and the husband is snoring, the wife is at fault. Whoever is at fault will suffer. This is a very profound science. The world always blames the instrument (nimit).
What Is God's Law?
God's law says that at any given time, at any given place, the person who suffers is at fault. A pickpocket is happy when he steals a person's wallet. He will enjoy himself with the money he stole, whereas his victim would be suffering. Therefore, the sufferer is at fault. He must have stolen in his past life and so today he is caught and is paying for his mistakes. In nature's law, today he is considered the thief, but the other thief will be called a thief the day he is caught.
People blame others when they are suffering. By doing so, their faults double and their problems in life keep increasing. If you were to understand this phrase, your problems will decrease.
Man's law finds fault in what the eye sees, whereas the law of nature finds the sufferer at fault.
If you do not inflict even the slightest suffering on others and if you accept the suffering others impose upon you, then your past accounts will be settled and you will attain liberation.
