________________ claiming its own veracity and then becomes pacified. The riot then calms down. Otherwise the thoughts will take over one by one and never stop. This is how confusion and chaos proliferate in the world. Where will you find such subtle and minute facts in the scriptures? No scriptures can give you the understanding of this world. Only the Gnani can shed light on this. austerities. You need to become free from mistakes. Which is the main mistake? It is the ignorance of your real identity. Who is able to destroy this mistake? It is the Gnani Purush. How can you get rid of a mistake? By knowing how the mistake came into existence, you will find a way to get rid of it. Faith and conviction give rise to mistakes, and faith and conviction will destroy it also. When you become convinced that you yourself are one hundred percent responsible for the mistake and provided you do not defend that mistake even in the slightest degree, then that mistake will go. Those who have become God, did so by destroying only their own mistakes. Dadashree used to ask, "Who can see his own mistakes? It is the one who has the absolute vision of flawless conduct, even though his conduct is not. That person is considered liberated.' I am able to see my subtle and subtle most mistakes. You will not be punished for your mistakes, but you will be rewarded for being aware of the mistake. Your reward being the departure of the mistake you acknowledged.

As you begin to see your faults, these layers will be shed. They are like an onion that has many layers, so these sticky mistakes will require a lot of pratikraman. When 'Chandubhai' makes a mistake and You do not like it, that is called seeing your own faults. Your life is the end results of your own karma of punya and paap. When you receive praise, that is because of your punya and when you receive insults, that is the result of your paap. Of importance is your ability to remain neutral (samta-without raag or dwesh) while enduring both. 17 No mistakes can touch the one who is in his pure state of awareness. The intellect always looks for a settlement. It wants to be pacified. When can you pacify the intellect? You can do so by looking at the faults of the intellect itself, or by seeing faults in others. When a person does not have Self-Realization, he always sees faults in others and can never see his own. The intellect becomes agitated within, and consequently will disrupt the inner components of the mind, the ego and the chit. It will create an insurgence.
