GOOD CULTURAL VALUES
Questioner : If someone throws a stone at us and hurts us, we become very angry.
Dadashri : You get upset because it hurts you. What if a stone rolls down from a hilltop and hits you on the head and you start bleeding?
Questioner: Then I would understand that I was hurt because of my karma. It would be a different situation.
Dadashri : Would you not be angry at the hill?
Questioner : A person suffers because of his own mistakes. People show concern and ask questions, but really they are meddlesome because they cannot take away his suffering. He is suffering because of his own karma.
Dadashri : When people show concern and make inquiries, it is because of our good cultural values. They give solace to a sick person when they inquire about his health. Their concern makes the person feel good and valuable and he forgets his miseries.
MULTIPLY OR DIVIDE
Questioner : No, there is no reason to get angry because we do not know who threw the stone.
Addition and subtraction are both natural adjustments. People are constantly multiplying and dividing using their intellect. They are preoccupied with increasing their wealth. They go to bed worrying about how they can minimize their expenses and maximize their wealth. In doing so, from within, they are 'multiplying for their happiness and *dividing for their suffering.
Dadashri : Where does your wisdom come from in this situation? In this situation your wisdom is spontaneous and natural.

If you understand this much, it will help you tremendously.
Your inner enemies krodh (anger), maan (pride), lobh (greed) and maaya (attachment), makes you see faults in others. The vision of the Self, does not see any faults in others. It is these inner enemies that makes one see faults in others. The one who has no inner enemies, has no one to show him fault in others and in fact he sees no fault in others. In reality, no one is at fault. These inner enemies are your weaknesses that possess you because of your wrong belief of, 'I am Chandulal'. If this wrong belief leaves you, these weaknesses would disappear. However, it will take them some time to vacate the house they
By multiplying for his happiness he will receive tremendous suffering as a result and although he is dividing for his suffering, his suffering does not decrease. Nature's adjustments are additions and subtractions. When one loses cash, suffers a loss in his business, or has his money stolen, these are all nature's adjustments. The fault is of the sufferer. I say this with absolute assurance as I see it in my vision.
Questioner : What is wrong with multiplying for happiness?
