________________ 165 life without Conflict life without Conflict 166 Dadashri: No, he does not have control. And he cannot make it go wrong either. It is because his intentions were wrong in his past life, that today he has done wrong. He had interfered in the workings of nature in the past life. Just observe the animals around you, the crows, the dogs, cats etc. They do not have hospitals or law courts and yet do they not resolve their conflicts? When two bulls fight, they fight a lot but after they separate, do they go looking for a court? If you see them the next day, they are both roaming around leisurely. But the foolish human beings have courts and hospitals and even then they are constantly unhappy. They are always complaining. What can you call these people? Just look at how attractive the sparrows, the cat, and the dogs look. They do not take any special herbal concoctions during the winter and look at what humans do in cold climate. They take all kinds of concoctions and even then they look so unattractive and ugly. Because of the ego even the most beautiful person appears ugly. Therefore there must be some mistake somewhere. Should one not think about this? Nature Still Comes To Your Aid Questioner: I have thoughts that are virtuous but they do not last. Then the evil thoughts come. What is this? Dadashri: What are thoughts? Thoughts will work when you want to make progress or even when you want to regress. You take the godly path and then you turn back. It's like that. You go forward one mile and then you turn back one mile; one-mile forward and one mile backward. It is better to keep thoughts of just one kind. If you are going to go backwards, keep going backwards and if you are going to go forward, keep going forward. Nature will help the one who wants to go forward but nature will also help the one who wants to go backwards. Nature says, 'I will help you in anything you want to do. If you want to steal, I will help you even then. There is tremendous help from nature and it is through this help that everything in the world functions. But you are the one who cannot decide what you want. Nature is ready to help you if you decide what you want. First decide what you want and then every morning recall your decision with determination. You should remain sincere to your determination, then nature will side with you and help you. You are the guest of nature. So understand this fact. Nature says, 'I will help you." God does not help, God does not have the time. Everything around us is the creation of nature and the creation only takes place because of the presence of God. Questioner: Are we nature's guest or are we part of nature? Dadashri: We are part of nature as well as a guest of nature. To live as a guest is our preference. Wherever you sit you will get air and water, free of cost. The priceless commodity of nature is free to you. That which nature values are the very thing humans do not. That which nature does not value, like diamonds and gold, humans value too much. [9] Human Values Sincerity and Morality Sincerity and morality are the two basements (foundations) of this world. If these two values rot away, everything will collapse. The greatest of wealth in this era is sincerity and morality. At one point in Hindustan these two values were in abundance, but now people of Hindustan have exported them to foreign countries and do you know
