________________ 134 The Flawless Vision The Flawless Vision 135 entire world is faultless. Questioner: We see people's faults only when we fail to see them as Pure Self, right? Dadashri: Firstly you see their faults because you are not seeing them as the pure Soul and secondly you have not investigated the reason behind the seeing of the fault. If you were to analyze things exactly as they are, then you would realize that the one seeing faults is completely wrong. Having made the analysis, you would realize that the one seeing faults in others would himself say that the fault is his own. So it is not enough just to see the pure Self in people, but you have analyze everything and deduce in what ways the other person is blameless and why despite this, you are placing the blame on him? Lord Mahavir has said that the whole world is faultless, and whatever mistakes there were, were all his and this was the realization he came to. I too have realized my mistakes and now I am telling you to do the same. I do not tell you to do anything else. I have the string of my kite in my hand and I have given you the string of yours in your hands. You have acquired the knowledge of the Pure Self and so you have the string in your hands, and should that kite take a dive and start falling, there is no point in yelling and shouting for help when all you have to do is pull on the string. That control I have given you in your hands. Now you have to see everyone as faultless. Through this vision by seeing the Pure Self exclusively, see him faultless. From within you, there will be a revolt as to why you are saving that he is faultless, when his fault is so overtly evident. Especially in this situation see him faultless because in reality he is faultless. Whatever you see in this world is the result of your own causes. You can see the results but you cannot see the causes created in the past life. So who is to be blamed for all these results? Questioner: The fault is of the causes. Dadashri: Yes, the fault is of the one who created the causes. In results no one is at fault. This whole world is a result. I am teaching you this very small example of how to arrive at the final conclusion. There are many such conclusions. When so many of these conclusions came together, it was then that I accepted that this world is flawless. Is this something that can be accepted without conclusive proofs? The world is absolutely faultless and this should be permanently entrenched in your conviction. If appears to be with faults, then it is an illusion and it is because of this illusion that this whole world has come into existence. There is no other cause behind its existence. Through Gnan the world appears faultless and through ignorance it appears to be full of faults. You are doomed to wander life after life if you continue to see faults in the world, but by seeing it faultless, you will attain liberation. Definition of Knowing It can only be said that you have known if you do not take a false step and fall. When you are harmed by a pickpocket or slapped by someone, even then you will not experience a false step. This is called knowledge. People go around saying, I know, I know,' but this is like the grocer who has only a few items to sell and announces that he has a grocery shop. Knowledge means there is not an iota of the ego left in any interactions in this world. When there is no reaction whatsoever to overt insults and abuse from the world, then Gnan has prevailed. But here when someone's pocket is picked, he will cry out loud 'Call the police I've been robbed!' He does not even stop to think why his pocket was picked. The Gnani Purush knows the reason behind it. To thePage Navigation
