conviction and it will leave only through your conviction. You must have the conviction that it is indeed a fault. Once you are convinced, that it is a fault, the fault will disperse. This is the only rule.
Also as long as you do not defend your fault in any way or give it any protection, it will leave. People generally tend to reinforce their faults: 'Are you still using snuff?' I ask and you reply. 'Oh it's okay, there's nothing wrong with it.' That is how you protect a fault, even when you know that it is wrong. The conviction that it is wrong is there but you protect it all the same. You should not protect it. Do people not protect their mistakes?
Questioner: Yes, they do that.
He That Destroys His Mistakes is God
A man who destroys one single mistake of his own permanently is called God. Many can point out your mistakes, but they cannot destroy them for you. You should know how to recognize your mistakes and if not, you should at least admit that you have them. To show a person his mistakes is not an easy thing to do, but if you succeeded in destroying his mistakes you would be God. Only a Gnani Purush can do this. I do not see anyone at fault in this world.
Questioner: Has anyone ever become God in this way?
Dadashri: All those who have found and destroyed their mistakes, have become God. They destroyed their each and every mistake. They were able to see all their mistakes. Not a single mistake eluded their vision, not even the subtlestof mistakes. Even I see a five to fifty of my mistakes everyday. These mistakes are extremely subtle and they are not harmful to anyone. If I say anything negative about anyone inadvertently during the course of the satsang that is a gross mistake.
Who can see faults? It is the one for whom the conviction of flawlessness of His Self exists, and yet, the conduct that is flawed also exists. Such a person can see his mistakes. I call such a person as separate from his worldly (relative) self. This is the initial stage of liberation. The final liberation follows when the conduct becomes flawless.
What is the nature of flawless conduct? Such a conviction of the flawless state of the Self must exist within (I am Pure Soul). Through this vision not even the subtlest of mistake must remain unnoticed. Then only the mistake of the relative self (Chandulal) can be seen. The seer must be absolutely clear to see. That is why we say that the Lord with the vision of 360 degrees within, is absolutely clear and shows us our mistakes.
After this Gnan, one can see within and without. The experience of flawlessness (The Self, I am Pure Soul) is the reality within. Through that experience one sees everything else. And that is why he is able to perceive his mistakes. Therefore the observer of the mistakes remains separated from the mistakes. As the clarity and transparency within increases, so does the ability to perceive even the subtlest mistakes. The moment the mirror (The Self) is cleared everything that is reflected shines within. In the same manner all mistakes are reflected and hence seen.
I have made my vision faultless (to see the world faultless) and through it I see the entire world as faultless. That is why only the Gnani Purush can destroy your mistake! No one else is capable of such a feat. God has not called the world's faults, faults. It is your ignorance of your Real Self that is your biggest fault. This is the blunder. The belief 'I am Chandulal' gives rise to countless other mistakes.
Flawless Vision and Flawed Behaviour He that finds his own mistakes becomes God.
