difference between a thorn and a mosquito. In the eyes of The Lord, they are both the same. The Soul within them does not bite. Everything that hurts you is merely thorns'. Why is it that you do not see the fault of a thorn when it pricks you?
been some previous interference on your part. Even if you were lying in a bed full of bedbugs, not a single bug will touch you, if you have not interfered in your past life. What is the law behind this? People have thoughts like, 'Kill all these bugs, and get rid of them. This is interference. Do they not spray insecticides? This is Hitlerism - gassing human beings to death. Yet the bugs say, you will not affect us much. Our generational propagation will not cease.
Therefore when your interference ceases, all accounts will be cleared. Without causes of interference there will be no "bites' of any kind.
Questioner: Because we do not see a living nimit (one instrumental in delivering a karmic account).
Dadashri : The mosquito appears as a living entity and therefore he assumes, this is what bit me. He is under the veil of illusion, not knowing the reality. Therefore, the world appears real to him. The Real Self never does anything. It does not bite anybody. The world is simply an interaction of non-self elements, and it is there that the accounts are caused and settled. The Self never punishes anyone. The world is constantly hurt by the sharp 'thorns'.
When can one tell if all debts have been paid off? When in the midst of a swarm of mosquitoes, not a single mosquito will bite you. Even the bedbugs will forget their natural tendency to bite. If a very angry and violent man rushes in here suddenly, his anger and violence will vanish when he sets his eyes on me. His thinking will change: Such is the power of Ahimsa.
If a person is struck by a falling rock, he will look up to see who threw the rock at him. When he does not see anyone, he remains quiet. However, if he catches someone throwing even a small pebble at him, he will become very angry and confrontational. Why does he react differently in each situation? This is because his perception is false.
It is vyavasthit (scientific circumstantial evidences) that arranges everything. The mosquito is not aware that it will bite Chandulal and Chandulal is not aware that he will be bitten, but vyavasthit unites the two. Vyavasthit determines the time of the event when the air pulls the mosquito to its location and it is also vyavasthit that pulls it away after the event. It is vyavasthit that frees them from their account so they both can go their separate ways. The mosquito can even fly for miles to settle accounts with anyone who has interfered in the past.
According to Akram Vignan, the thorn that pricks you and the person that hurts you are both nimits (they become instrumental in the process when vyavasthit brings to you the results of your own past karma). The fault is really yours. You would not be hurt if you stepped on a flower, but if you stepped on a thorn, it will prick you for sure. The same applies to people, so you must be careful when you interact with anyone. Whether a thorn pricks you or a scorpion stings you, it is the result of past karmas. Whose past karma? Your own past karma. Others are merely instrumental in delivering the results of your
No Difference Between The Thorn And The Mosquito
When a mosquito bites, people blame the mosquito but when a thorn pricks them, what do they do? There is no
