world is caught up in the web of worldly love, so keep a safe distance and deal with everyone from a distance. Do not encourage worldly relative love or be trapped by anyone's worldly love. But neither can you achieve liberation by scorning the worldly love. So beware! If you aspire liberation, you should be grateful to those who oppose you. Those who love you are actually creating bondage for you, whereas those who oppose you are beneficial to you. You should gently free yourself from those who shower you worldly love without slighting them because that kind of love perpetuates the worldly life.
Attraction is one of the properties of the body. It is a property of the atoms. It is like the attraction between a magnet and a needle. The body attracts atoms that are compatible to it. That is attraction.
Attraction can be above or below normal. True love is within normality; it is perpetually constant and steady. It does not undergo any kind of changes. Attraction is an attribute of the inanimate, the non-Self, there is absolutely no Chetan (pure consciousness, the animate) in it.
There is a reason behind the seeming one-ness and harmony that is seen in this world. That is an attribute of atoms and attraction, but there is no telling what may happen at any time in the future. As long as the atoms are compatible, there will be attraction and hence a feeling of harmony and one-ness. Incompatibility between atoms will lead to repulsion and cause animosity. Therefore wherever there is attraction, there is repulsion. In attraction one does not have the awareness of what is spiritually beneficial and what is not. In pure love there is complete awareness of that.
never be attracted. In the Self prevails an inherent renunciation for that which it never becomes absorbed with.
Pride of doer-ship is nothing but attraction.
The worldly people have attraction for the body and repulsion for the soul.
Fault Is Of The Sufferer There are judges of the world everywhere but there is only one natural judge of the world of karma : "Fault is of the sufferer'. Only this law governs the world but the world is caught up in worldly justice. This worldly justice, is an illusion, and perpetuates the world.
If someone has been robbed, through worldly justice people try to comfort or console the victim. They feel sorry for him and they too experience his anguish. They call the robber all kinds of names. Whereas the law of nature, the real justice, accuses the one who has been robbed. The natural justice will look at who the sufferer is : the robber or the one who is robbed? Fault lies with the one who suffers. The one, who did the stealing, will be deemed guilty when he is arrested but at the moment he is enjoying his loot, he will pay for his mistake when he is caught, but who is suffering now? It is the victim and the law of nature says that he, the sufferer, is the guilty one. He is facing the consequences of his mistake from his past life and that is precisely why he was robbed and is suffering today.
I am openly stating to you the natural law that works in the courts of nature and that is : 'Fault is of the sufferer'.
People suffer only because of their own mistakes. The one who throws the stone is not at fault but it is the one who is hurt by the stone, the one who suffers is at fault. No matter what kind of mistakes or misdeeds those around you commit, if they do not affect you, then you are not at fault but be assured
This is a science of atoms (parmanus). The Self has nothing to do with it, but in the attraction between atoms, people are under the illusion that it is happening to them. The Self can
