The fault of the sufferer lot of pain from the injection and passes a very restless night. Who is at fault here? The patient.

Another doctor makes a house call for a very sick child. When he examines the child, he finds no pulse and he asks the parents why they called him. They tell him that the child was alive just before he examined her. The doctor gets angry with the parents. He also charges them for the visit. This is how the world is. Do not look for justice in this day and age.
Questioner: But it also happens that people go to the doctor for medicine and get angry with the doctor. I have experienced this.
Dadashri : Yes that also happens. If you blame the other person, you will be at fault. Nature is always dispensing justice.
If a patient dies during an operation, whose fault is it? Whose fault is it if you slip on wet ground?
It is absolutely wrong to see faults in others. It is because of your own fault that you encounter a nimit who inflicts suffering on you. If the nimit is a person, you blame him, but if the nimit is a thorn that pricks you, what would you do?

At this moment, the person caught is the one who is hurt by the arrow. The one who is caught is the primary culprit. The other one will be considered guilty when he is caught.
PEOPLE ALWAYS BLAME CHILDREN
Dadashri When you were studying in school did you have to suffer difficulties?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: You suffered because of your mistakes. The teacher or anyone else is not to be blamed.
Questioner: Nowadays children are disrespectful and go against their teacher. When will they improve?
Dadashri: The one, who suffers the consequences of the mistakes, is at fault. DADA'S UNDERSTANDING TOWARDS MISTAKES
The fault is of the sufferer is the law that will liberate you. If someone were to ask me how he could recognize his mistakes, I would tell him to make a note of all the circumstances where he experiences suffering. Those are his mistakes. He has to find the mistakes that lie behind his suffering. People suffer all the time; they must find their
