The Flawless Vision
Take A Lesson From Me People ask me why I need to disclose my faults openly and what benefit is there in doing so. I tell them that I do it to encourage you all to follow suit. How can you not find courage from what I say? Whenever you disclose your faults, your mind gets exposed and thereafter it will live in fear of being caught. Thereafter it will live in fear of you because it knows you will expose it. Your mind will think of you as a naïve person who has a tendency to divulge everything. I have told (my mind) that I will divulge everything and open everything to the sky. And that is when all my faults disappeared. Faults come to an end in this way.
The Method of Destroying Faults... Dadashri: How many mistakes are you aware of? Questioner: A few. About four or five!
Dadashri: Who determines whether or not they are mistakes?
Questioner: You realize it is a mistake when you experience a loss.
Dadashri: Yes of course you would realize it then! But who is the one that tells you that you have made a mistake? The person committing the fault does not readily admit it, but when a
judge' tells you that you have made a mistake, you would recognize it and accept it; otherwise you would not. Generally people do not admit their mistakes unless they can recognize them as such. As soon as you make a mistake you should admit it immediately, it should be 'shoot on sight.' Your mistakes will not decrease if you do not do this. Do people around you admit their mistakes?
Questioner: No they do not.
Dadashri: Indeed, no one admits his mistake. People think themselves intelligent and yet no one would be willing to pay even penny for that intelligence! Everyone has intelligence, so why would they want to buy it? Do you admit your mistakes readily?
Questioner: Yes I do. Can I tell you one of my faults? Dadashri: Yes. Questioner: I love playing cards.
Dadashri: Is that so? Playing cards is simply your karmic account. You are experiencing the effect of the intent you had in your past life.
Questioner: I like playing cards but my wife objects to it.
Dadashri: If she does not like it, it is her problem, because she is the one who suffers. The fault is of the one who suffers. If she did not suffer, then it would not be her fault at all. Since she is the one who is suffering, the fault is hers.
Questioner: She insists that it does not bother her, but I think that it does bother her.
Dadashri: When she herself tells you that she is not suffering, let it go. Do not be concerned. Before she received Gnan, she may have suffered. Now she understands that habits are hard to break and have nothing to do with the Real. She understands that this habit is the result of past life mistakes. She knows that you cannot get rid of it even if you want to. The habit does not let you go. She knows that it is a mistake on her part to scold you.
Questioner: But Dada is there no way around it? There should be a way to get rid of that habit, shouldn't there?
Dadashri: The only way around this for him is that while
