make a decision that you want to give happiness to whomever you meet. There are many other ways of helping besides giving monetary help: you can help a person who is in a dilemma by talking to him, making him understand and giving him encouragement. You can even give a little money if need be. (226)
Whatever responsibility you take for helping others, you are actually doing for yourself.
Questioner: To do for others is to do for yourself, how does that work?
Dadashri: Every Soul has the same quality. So whatever you do for the soul of others, reaches your own soul. Whatever you do for the comfort of others will also reach you. Yes but if you do for only the soul, then it reaches in a different way; it opens up the path of liberation for you. And whatever you do for their worldly comforts, it will give you happiness here and now. This is the only difference. (226)
Some time back I went even as far as to tell people that if they have a need, they should come to me for money, but they should slap me before they take the money. People told me if they were a little tight for money they would somehow manage but what would become of them if they were to slap me? Now, I cannot say this to any ordinary Joe Blo; I can only say this to people with spiritual development.
So there is no one in this world that can trap you. You are the owner of this world and no one is your superior. Only God is your superior. But once you have the realization of your God, the real Self, then no one is your superior. No one can touch you. But alas, look at how people have become trapped! (231)
So get rid of this notion in your mind that your uncle has trapped you. But if people ask you, you do not have to say that it is because of your own mistake that your uncle has trapped you, because people do not have the awareness and the understanding of this Science. You must communicate with them, in their language. You can tell them 'My uncle did this to me', but from within you must understand that he has done so because of your own mistake and that whatever Dada has told you is correct. Furthermore this is a fact, because your uncle is not the one suffering at the moment, he is enjoying himself with a fancy car. His mistake will become evident when nature catches up with him but today it is you that nature is holding accountable. (232)
If you do not go to your shop, your shop will be unhappy with you. If your shop becomes happy, you will be able to make some profit. In the same manner, you should come and spend some time in this satsang. If you can't stay long it is fine. Stay just for five or ten minutes, if I am here. Your presence has to be
Questioner: My uncle has trapped me in this business Whenever I think of it, I feel intense anger and inner turmoil towards him and I keep questioning why he did this to me. What should I do? I find no solution.
Dadashri: Your uncle is doing this to you because of your own mistake (from past life). When that mistake is over, no one will be able to trap you. As long as you come across people who trap you, the fault lies with you. You are not done with all your faults. Why do I not come across anyone who will trap me? I cannot find anyone to trap me even though I am looking for someone to do so and if someone tries to trap you, you try to escape. I don't even know how to escape. How long will people try to trap you? People will trap you as long as you have some pending karmic account; as long as you have some account left to
