the other path, but not here. Applaud the One Who Shows Your Mistake
If someone showed you your mistake, would you thank him and applaud him?
Questioner: That all depends on one's ego.
Nothing will occur to the One who knows how to remain separate. If "One' remains separate and continues to see all the drama, then there is no problem. And even if the mixture occurs, and he becomes 'one' with it, it is not the old 'Chandulal.' And even if it does not remain separate, that file will return for the signature (to be settled with equanimity). That file will come back again because you have not signed off on it (it has not been discharged correctly, settled with equanimity). But ultimately, only You (the awakened one in Akram Vignan) will have to bring it to an end. Do you understand what I have said so far?
Questioner: Yes, Dada!
Dadashri: The paper will come back to you if it has not been signed. Then you will have to see it, read it and settle it with equanimity and then You will be free.
Now in what circumstances will this not occur? It is when the karma is so very dense and sticky that you will become unaware (ajagrut) and make mistakes. At such a time, you should repent. And repentance occurs after the mistakes, does it not? Repentance will loosen it' and so when it comes back the next time, it will be weak enough where you will be able to settle it with equanimity.
You should say, 'Chandubhai, go ahead and repent. Why did you do the atikraman? What is Dada's rule? You have done atikraman, so do pratikraman; that is all! Is this not according to the rule?
Our science is within the natural law from every aspect. It is the exact science.
The entire knowledge of the Kramic path was given by the Lord through Keval Gnan and has come into the level of imagination (kalpana). And even this Akram Gnan of Ours has been conveyed through Keval Gnan, but it is something that is out of one's capacity to imagine. You can find contradictions in
Dadashri: Hey, you! God only knows! There is no telling what the fool will say! But why not step back and think for a moment, 'What would I do if that were to happen to me?
Questioner: In this matter, I would grab on to it and tell him he did the right thing.
Dadashri: No, no, no. Because one can never see one's mistake as it is. Only in certain matters will you be able to realize your mistake. In other matters one will not be able to see it as it is and that is why he will only say the wrong thing.
"Chandubhai' is the one who makes mistakes. If someone says, 'You have made a mistake,' then at that very same time, You should say, 'Chandubhai, you must have made a mistake, and that is why this person is pointing it out. If that was not the case, is anyone likely to say anything? People in general would not say anything without a reason, so there must be some mistake somewhere. So why should you have any objection if someone points out your mistake? So, dear Chandubhai,' you must have made a mistake somewhere and that is why he is telling you, so ask for forgiveness. And if 'Chandubhai' hurts anyone, you have to tell him, 'Do pratikraman, dear man! Because we want to go to moksha and we can no longer afford to do as we please. Do Not See Mistakes of Those Who Depend
On You Questioner: I see mistakes of others, I see my own
