The Flawless Vision
grave mistakes will lead to one's own destruction. Only the Gnani Purush and no one else, can claim not to have any more mistakes left in him. Each mistake must be seen and then destroyed. Everything is created through one's own mistakes. You are bound because of your mistakes, and when you begin to see them, you will attain freedom. It is through constant observation of my faults that I too have become liberated. You too will become free, as soon as you begin to see your mistakes. No one else has the capability to destroy your mistakes but the Gnani.

I accept my mistakes and immediately deal with them with equanimity. You on the other hand failed to deal with your past mistakes with equanimity and that is why the same mistake keeps coming back to you. You do not know how to get rid of them and so instead of destroying a single mistake, you end up creating five
more.
You Have No Boss
Questioner: But Dada, would we be able to understand our mistakes if you were not in front of us?
Dadashri: Alas, how else can one understand? If a person cannot see his own mistakes, how can he destroy the mistakes of others?
Only he, who does not depend on anyone to show him his mistakes, can destroy his mistakes. Such a person does not need a boss, for he himself knows all his faults. You will need a boss as long as you cannot see your mistakes, or if there are certain mistakes that remain with you. When will you become free from a boss? When you will see all your mistakes. This is a logical fact. You do not see all your mistakes and that is why I still remain your boss. I am your boss as long as you are not able to see your faults, but when you begin to see them on your own, why should

I remain your boss? Why would I even bother? It is a natural law that when a person begins to see his own mistakes, he will no longer have a boss.

That is why I tell you that I can see each and every one of my mistakes, even those that are seen through Absolutely Enlightened World View (Keval Gnan). Now tell me, how it is possible for me to see these mistakes through this view, even though I am not completely there yet?
The Vision Towards One's Own Faults Within...
After you attain this Gnan, you will commence seeing everything that happens within you. This seeing within is the domain of the Enlightened Worldview. Not the total enlightened worldview, but a fraction of it. You will observe negative thoughts as well as pleasant ones. There is no attachment towards good thoughts and no abhorrence for the bad thoughts. Since it is not under your control, it is not necessary for you to look at what is good and what is bad. So what do the Gnanis look at? They look at the world as being faultless. The Gnani knows that everything that happens in the world is a discharge. He knows that the world is not to be blamed.
Even the insults that you encounter or your dispute with your boss is simply the discharge of past karma; your boss is only an 'instrument'. No one in the world can be blamed. All the faults that you see are your own. These are the blunder and the mistakes.
Deviating From The Self, Faults Arise
No one is at fault in the world. If you do see anybody's faults, it is because of your own weakness. You see faults in others because your vision has become impure. Your vision should be absolutely pure so that you do not see faults in anyone.
