not at fault; he is merely a nimit (instrumental in the process)". then you will be able to see the other person as being completely faultless. This vision will take you all the way to moksha. Just one single sentence of ours' can take you to moksha. You do not need scriptures for that: you only need one sentence of a Gnani Purush, because the Gnani right away shows you the entire clear path to moksha. Therefore, you need to understand and know the facts.
People claim they have gnan. That is not called gnan. Gnan is that which results in conduct (amal). If you know the way to Borivalli, then you will definitely reach Borivalli. If you do not then realize that you did not know the way, you did not have knowledge of Borivalli's location. There is so much power in the Lord's dharmadhyan, but if one does not understand what it is, what can he do?
And the vitarag Lords have instructed us not to be afraid of the unfolding effects of the past karma (udayakarma). If it bothers you the whole day, do not fear, because no one is at fault in this.
Worrying is artadhyan "Rai matra vadha ghat nahi, dekhya keval gnan' Not the slightest of change can occur in that which unfolds in
front of you, this 'we' have seen in Keval Gnan. *Teha nischay kar chodine, tyajee de artadhyan
Therefore abandon the artadhyan with conviction.
Stop worrying, worrying is artadhyan. Whatever pleasure (shata) and pain (ashata) this body has brought with it, will unfold and you have no choice but to suffer through it. Therefore do not see any faults in anyone and understand for once and for all that bondage is due to your own faults. You cannot change even an iota of that. You will not be able to make any changes whatsoever so just continue taking the Lord's name, Jai
Mahavir, Jai Mahavir' or 'Jai Shree Krishna, Jai Shree Krishna' Vitarag Lords are the only ones worthy of praise.
Questioner : Did God send all these worries and problems?
Dadashri : Everyone gets whatever he or she trades for Everyone's kadhee (a Gujarati dish made from yogurt and chickpea flour) tastes different. The yogurt that people use to make kadhee is bought from the shop, the spices are bought from the store, the water is from the same water department and yet everyone's kadhee tastes different. Some people's kadhee is so bad that it cannot even go past your throat! The Lord tells everyone, "Do the best you can. The control is in your hands. There is no superior over you and no one to scold you and no one to obstruct you. If you get scolded, or obstructed, it is because of your own mistakes. Nobody is there to scold you if you do not have any mistakes. There will be no superior to scold you when your mistakes are destroyed. There will be no one to obstruct or harass you." You may ask the Lord, "Sir, you have gone to moksha but what should I do when people steal from me?" The Lord will tell you. "People do not steal. They steal from you as long as your mistake is there. So destroy your mistake. "Otherwise you have so much energy and power within you that no one can bother you. Every siva (embodied soul) has brought with it independent energy. Every jiva is absolutely free and independent. If you feel any dependency, if you feel persecution at the hands of others, it is because of your own mistakes. It is because of these mistakes that one has to become someone's son-in-law or father-in-law. This whole worldly predicament is a result of your own mistakes. In reality there is no one above you other than your own mistakes. Therefore, destroy your old mistakes and do not allow new ones to occur.
A Gnani means the one who does not allow ignorance (agnan) to enter. One should remain in dharmadhyan until he attains Gnan (the Self). It is more than enough if you attain only
