The Flawless Vision
The Flawless Vision
Once my business partner came to me burdened with a few serious problems. I told him to go up on the terrace and proclaim loudly. Dada's Bank is now open. Two to three problems have come your way, and they have been paid off. All those that want to come, come on up and get paid. I did have payment problems before. But now The Dada Bank is open for you. If you all want to come together then come on over.' He actually went up to the terrace and did this. And this worked for him. People fret needlessly.... If a bunch of lice get into your loincloth would it be prudent to throw it away all together?
That is When You Have Settled With Equanimity
Everything becomes more difficult if you become weak. Once you have cleared up all your files with equanimity, you are the supreme Soul. Do you have any files?
Questioner: Yes, yes.
Dadashri: You do? The problems are there only when there are files.
Questioner: How can we know that we have dealt with a file with equanimity? How can we be sure that we have settled it?
Dadashri: There is no link within your mind with that person and likewise he has no link in his mind with you, then it is called a complete settlement. Thoughts simply do not arise in either parties.
Questioner: The other party should not feel anything either.
Dadashri: For you it is not a problem if his thoughts are not clear towards you, but you should not have any thoughts about him. You should be completely clear from your side.
Questioner: Does that mean that we would not even think about that person?
Dadashri: Yes. Questioner: Will thoughts about that person cease? Dadashri: Yes.
Compassion With Tenderness Of The Gnani
Once I noticed a change in thoughts about a certain mahatma. Generally I do not perceive such changes, but I kept getting these thoughts about this man. I began to wonder what was going on and what must be the reason behind such thoughts. The man after all was good, had he all of a sudden turned bad? My answer came from within: his circumstances had changed and therefore he appeared in such a way and so I made special allowances for him. He needed my compassion. For some people their circumstances are very favorable and some are not so fortunate. Does that not happen?
Questioner: Yes, it does.
Dadashri: This is always the case in this world, but when such people come across me, I treat them with tender compassion.
Questioner: What do you mean tender compassion?
Dadashri: By that I mean that I would not accept how he appears to come across. After all he is a good man, is he not?
Questioner: So how would you interact with him?
Dadashri: He is faultless. That is how I have seen this entire world and its interactions. He appears to be at fault because of the circumstances. I have only seen flawlessness and the pure. The world is at fault according to the intellect. And with Gnan, the world is flawless. Do you not see your husband in a faultless light?
Questioner: Yes I do indeed.
