You will have to acknowledge that indeed the fault must be yours. Unless a person can see his own mistakes, how will he make any progress? Now you do not see people at fault, but surely someone is guilty and responsible? All the faults that are created are yours alone. The progress of this Science has been impeded simply because people have failed to look, consider and accept all faults as their own. They have not been able to deal with their own mistakes as they should have been dealt with because they continue to blame others for making mistakes. This science will move forward when you understand your own mistakes. Intellect: The Expert Fault-Finder Absolutely no one in this world is at fault. The fact that you see faults at all is your illusion. Do you understand this, somewhat? Questioner: I understand some of it. When someone curses you, and you remain unaffected, and you retain a constant understanding that it is the result of your own mistake, and that the other person is absolutely faultless, and simultaneous pratikramans are being done, then this is the highest knowledge of the Lord.

If you were to ask this person to talk about his own faults he will tell you that he has very few faults. Both of these responses are of the intellect. Always Look At Your Own Fault Questioner: Since no one is at fault, then it would also mean that I am faultless too? Dadashri: No. Why does one suffer? Suppose I were hit by a falling rock and hurt badly, whose fault would it be? Questioner: No one's. Dadashri: In such a situation you will infer that it must be Questioner: So that fault is somewhere. That means that if the fault is not with the other person, then it must be here within me? Dadashri: Yes. That's the only difference. Questioner: Now I understand how others are without any fault. Dadashri: What does the intellect want? The intellect seeks closure. It wants to be still. It will become pacified when you put the blame on someone else, regardless of what consequences doing this entails or it will also be pacified if you place the blame on yourself.
