________________ Aptavani-6 121 122 Aptavani-6 Dadashri: Why is that? They are intelligent, so why not? Questioner: They see everyone else's mistakes. Dadashri: That, too - they do not see the true mistakes. They measure other people through their intellect and then they pick out their mistakes. We do not see mistakes in anyone in this world. in this life. That is what I have done all along in life-this one and previous ones. Thereafter, I came to the final conclusion that I have no beating of any kind left to take and therefore, I have no fear about anything. I have deduced what the whole world is all about. I have the answers and I also help others come to that conclusion. Sooner or later, will you not have to come onto this line? The law of nature does not spare anyone. The slightest mistake could bring a life form with four legs and a tail (one takes birth in the animal kingdom). Is there any happiness in a life where one has four legs and a tail? Just stop all mistakes that hurt others. By practicing nonviolence (ahimsa) through thoughts, speech and acts, you will not have to fear any hurt. Do not have any fear of someone hitting you or something biting you. Even if the room is full of snakes, when a non-violent (ahimsak) person walks in the snakes will scurry away and climb on each other and not even touch him. Therefore, proceed with caution. This world is very different. It is absolutely just. Only when you come to the exact conclusion (Taaran) of what the world is all about, and you take it to the stage of experience, will everything work. The research, "What will be the consequence of this?' will have to be done, will it not? Questioner: Dada, the whole world is flawless (nirdosh) and that is true from the 'real' perspective, but by the relative view, everything is bound to have mistakes (dosh), is it not? Dadashri: Yes, but now we no longer intend to live in the relative, the non-Self, do we? We want to live only in the real Self. Relative means the worldly life. Do you like to live in the real or in the relative? Questioner: We like only the real, Dada. But we have to live in both, do we not? As the Self (nischay), we understand that everyone is flawless, without mistakes, but often we have to see people from the worldly life view, do we not? Dadashri: No, interaction in the worldly life (vyavahar) does not tell you that you have to look for mistakes in others. We,' too, live in the worldly life, do we not? And yet I can constantly see the world as flawless. There is no one with a mistake (dosh) in this world. If others appear at fault, it is our own mistake. And yet all these courts, lawyers, government, everybody considers them guilty, do they not? Questioner: One embarks upon the research after taking a beating, does he not? Dadashri: Yes, true research is done after taking a beating, not after giving it. The Flawless World Dadashri: People are not able to see their own mistakes, are they? Questioner: No they cannot. Questioner: How should we look at it? Are they not guilty as far as the worldly life is concerned? Dadashri: There is no one at fault in the worldly life. No one is at fault from the perspective of pure worldly interaction (shuddha vyavahar). Everyone is a Shuddhatma
