Such a person is one with every one else. (P.542)
Questioner: No. But what if it happens by mistake?
When faced with conflicts, we are forced to prepare for our own defense. When we do this, we fall. Now, after this Gnan, we no longer have the ammunition to retaliate. The other person may have the weapon so let him use it. Everything is vyavasthit and that vyavasthit is such that his own weapon will hurt him.
Dadashri: Why do you not fall by mistake? You manage to be careful in that situation. Besides, if you slip accidentally, your father will understand, but if you make a mistake on purpose, he will question you. Try your best not to make a mistake. If it happens outside your control they will understand and know that you are not capable of doing it. Keep them happy. Do they not try to keep you happy? All parents desire their child's happiness. (P.563)
Later Mashroor brought her own father, who was a doctor, to come for 'Dada's' darshan. If a person has problems, all he has to do is come to me and his work will be done. (P.549)
All your problems can be solved. Each word of mine will carry a solution for your problems and take you all the way to moksha. So Adjust everywhere. (P.550)
Questioner: Yes, but I feel that they have got into a habit of nagging.
(19) HAPPINESS IN LIFE THROUGH SERVICE
Dadashri: Yes, then it is your own fault and you have to do pratikraman for hurting them. They should not be hurt. You should tell yourself that you are here to keep them happy. Ask yourself what you did to make them unhappy. (P.564)
Children who see faults in their parents will never be happy. They may have material wealth, but they would never be happy spiritually. You must never see faults in your parents. How can you forget what they have done for you? You do not forget someone's kindness even when they offer you a cold drink on a hot day, so how can you forget your parents' kindness?
Do you think your father is bad? What will happen when you think badly of him? There is nothing bad in this world. Whatever comes your way is precise and it is justice. A mother is a mother and you should never see any faults in her. Destiny has given her to you. Can you ever replace your mother?
Care for them in the best possible way. If they say something disagreeable to you, overlook it. They are your elders. Do you think they deserve disrespect?
Questioner: No.
