The Flawless Vision become God. A single fault is all it takes! When you destroy just a single fault you can become God. People manage to destroy their faults only by creating new ones. In comes the new and out goes the old. Otherwise it is possible for one to become God by getting rid of just one fault, permanently.
Questioner: How can we prevent creating new faults?
Dadashri: There are only mistakes and nothing else. But when can one destroy a mistake? One can only destroy one's mistake after attaining Self-Realization. Until this is achieved, not a single mistake can be destroyed. Unless people achieve SelfRealization, they will simply continue to dig' but also 'fill', 'dig' and 'fill', 'dig' and 'fill". Nothing they do is of any use and all their efforts are in vain.
These are the Qualities of a True Jain! Dadashri: Do you have at least two or more faults?
Questioner: More than that.
Dadashri: About ten or fifteen faults?
Questioner: Countless.
Dadashri: Yes, that is a true Jain. A true Jain is certain that he has ego and faults. It does not matter that he cannot see his faults, but as long as he has the conviction that he does have faults, he can be called a Jain. One is a vessel of infinite faults. When will one empty this vessel?
Questioner: When we have your blessings.
Dadashri: You made a very important statement.
As Many Faults: That Many Pratikramans Needed You are a vessel of infinite faults, so you will have to do that
The Flawless Vision
many pratikramans. You will be able to see all the faults that you have brought with you after the Gnani Purush gives you Gnan. Ignorance (of The Self) prevents you from seeing your faults. To see the fault of others is a delusion (mithyatva).

When the Gnani bestows upon you Gnan and the light of pure vision (divyachakshu), you will be able to see your own faults. You will be able to discern the slightest degree of disturbance within the mind in your daily interactions with others and recognize that a mistake has occurred. This is the path of the Vitaragas, The Absolute Enlightened Ones. It has the potential to liberate you in this lifetime. It is a very solemn path that is charged with great accountability. You must clear everything in this lifetime.
You are a warehouse of faults. If you come to me for this Gnan, I will cleanse you of all your faults. This task has befallen me. After this you will be able to see your mistakes. And the moment you begin to see your faults, you can be assured that you are verily on the path of liberation. Otherwise people are not able to see their own faults.
The Soul Is The Thermometer
When a person does something he is never aware of the mistake in it. When he does something naturally and spontaneously, he never sees himself making a mistake. Even when someone points out to him that he has made a mistake, he cannot see it as such. Whenever he practices his religious austerities (meditation, fasting and penance), he can never see his faults. The mistakes only become apparent when the Gnani Purush gives you the knowledge whereby you realize the Soul. The Soul is the thermometer by which you can gauge mistakes that occur. Otherwise no one can show you your mistakes.
