________________ 44 The Flawless Vision The Flawless Vision 45 look at the packing. There are infinite varieties of packing. I see only the Real. I attained this total faultless vision first, and thereafter I saw the entire world as absolutely faultless. This is why only the Gnani Purush is able to destroy your mistakes. It is not the work for anyone else. Only He That Has Crossed the Ocean of Life Can Help Others Cross It You have these mistakes don't you? You have never looked into them, have you? Questioner: I know that I make mistakes, but I can't stop myself. The more I try to break free from them; the deeper I sink. Dadashri: You should not even make the effort to try. In order to try, you were asked to fill up this hole here and dig one over there. Instead you have done the opposite. Who will reward you for such work? Questioner: No one. Dadashri: Besides, you will be punished for spoiling the landscape and you may even be taken to court and made to pay for the damage. They will demand that you fill the hole you dug and level it. All the worldly people are simply digging in the wrong place. It would be better if they did not dig at all, and instead seek help. You can get help only if you ask. Only the free can free you. How can a person who is drowning himself, save you from drowning? Questioner: For so long I have sought help, but no one was able to rescue me from drowning. Whatever medicine I was given made my pain worse in spiritual matters. Dadashri: The doctor who gave you the medicine was not qualified. The doctor himself was trying to keep his head above the water. Go to the one who tells you that he himself, has crossed the ocean of worldly life wanderings. Only he can give you the right medicine. Besides no one will tell you that he has crossed the ocean of life. This is in fear that he may be found out if ever he were to find himself in a troubled situation. Such a person knows that he will be answerable to those who ask him why he made such great claims when all the while he himself was drowning. In your case, your circumstances were against you at the time. This is not the case for you now that you are here in front of me. Now your work is done. How is anyone to acquire salvation amidst all this? Goodness! You can count the hair on your head quite easily but you won't be able to count your mistakes. If you could manage to see even twenty-five or so of your mistakes, a formidable strength will arise from within you. Nothing stands in your way. Not even your physical body and its needs can hinder you. You are not bound by penance or renunciation You are only bound by your own mistakes. And within you, you have innumerable mistakes. If you could only destroy twenty-five or so of your big mistakes, the rest of your mistakes will be destroyed on their own. Many people are aware of their mistakes but it is their ego that prevents them from admitting them. How can you afford to do this, when just a single mistake of yours can ruin your countless lives ahead of you?
