Mistakes Have Layers Mistakes become the object to be perceived. The more of these mistakes you see, the freer you will be from them. A mistake is like an onion; it has layers just like an onion. As you go about seeing your own faults, the layers in turn fall away. When all the layers fall away, the mistake is gone from its very root. Many mistakes only have a single layer, and because they do not have a second layer, seeing them just once can destroy them. The ones that have many layers need to be seen again and again, and pratikraman must be done for them repeatedly, before they are destroyed. Some faults have so many layers that they require continuous pratikramans. It may appear to others that you continue to make the same mistake and they may remind you about it. All you have to do is to agree with them. People are unaware that mistakes occur in layers and that these layers can be innumerable.
The Responsibility of Deeds: Good Or Bad
This world is vyavasthit. Vyavasthit shakti (Scientific Circumstantial Evidences) is responsible for sending us the fruits (consequences) of our past life offences. You should allow them to come to you, accept them and settle them with equanimity. Whatever mistakes you had made in your past life are coming back to you in this life, and even if you steer straight in this life, the mistake will still get in the way, which is why it is considered your fault.
There are two kinds results of past life mistakes: Someone praises you or insults you, both circumstances represent your mistake. Praise is the result of merit karma and insult is the result of demerit karma. Whatever mistakes you have made previously are fed into the master computer and then justice is carried out accordingly through scientific circumstantial evidences. You have to pay the price for whatever offense you have committed. All you have to do is resolve your mistakes with equanimity, without protest. What happens when you do not raise any objections? When the time comes, the effects of your mistakes will unfold, they will be experienced, and then the fault will leave. The problems are compounded when people raise objections, so it is best to remain silent in order to resolve past accounts.
In his previous life, the Gnani Purush has not made any mistakes and that is why he has all material comforts at his disposal. Since all of you have now met a Gnani Purush in this life, all you have to do is deal with your past mistakes with equanimity. If you do not create any new ones, you will not have to face any more difficulties and you will achieve liberation.
Will you not have to destroy your mistakes? Questioner: But first we should be able to see our
Questioner: On the one hand you say that this Gnan works by itself and yet you tell us that if we make a mistake, it is the discharge of our past karma. Is this not an adjustment of some kind?
Dadashri: They are all discharge. Everything is discharging. There is nothing that you have to acquire or renounce. There is contempt and abhorrence in renunciation and there is attachment in acquisition. All of it is nothing but discharge provided there is no attachment or abhorrence.
Why can you see your own faults? What proof is there? There is proof in this, because when Chandubhai becomes angry or upset, you do not like it: This is proof that You have actually seen Chandubhai's fault. This happens frequently in the course of a day each time you are aware of the mistakes.
