and carrying on with the legal proceedings, but do not harbor any hostility towards the defendant or the plaintiff. Have goodness in your heart for him throughout.
Questioner: Such people often deceive and betray us.
Dadashri : No one can touch you. The law of nature is such that if you are pure, no one can harm you. So destroy your mistakes.
The intellect creates a storm and spoils everything. What is intellect? It is that which seeks justice. When someone does not pay for the goods you sold him, your intellect will nag you repeatedly. Why does he not pay, when he has already received the goods? This 'why not' is the function of the intellect. When injustice is committed (according to the view of the world), it is in fact justice. You should still attempt to collect what is owed to you. Just calmly tell the person that you need the money because you are in difficulty. But there is no need to become hostile and make demands such as, “I'll see to it that you pay up", otherwise you will have to look for a lawyer and all your time will be wasted in courts instead of coming here to satsang. If you say 'whatever happens is justice', the intellect will go away.
THE PERSON WHO GIVES IN WINS
Are you trying to look for justice in this world? Whatever happens, is justice. If someone slaps you, it is justice. When you begin to understand it in this way, you will solve all your problems.
If you do not tell yourself that, 'Whatever happens is justice', your intellect will become very restless. For infinite lives the intellect has been responsible for creating confusion and conflict. In reality there is never an occasion where one needs to defend oneself. As for myself, I never come across an occasion where I need to say anything. The one who lets go in a dispute is the one who wins. The one, who keeps tugging, does so at his own risk. How can one tell when one's intellect is gone? It is when one stops looking for justice. When you become convinced that "Whatever happens is justice', then it means that your intellect is gone. What does the intellect do? It keeps looking for justice, and because of this, your worldly life continues. So do not look for justice.
Is justice something one has to look for? Whatever happens is correct - this should be the spontaneous acceptance because nothing happens outside of 'Vyavasthit'.
You should have a firm conviction that whatever happens is justice. This firm conviction will keep you sane and you will not feel angry and antagonistic towards the other person, nor will you become frustrated. However, having said this, in the worldly life, you should still attempt to collect your money. When you go to collect your money, you should play your role to the fullest, as if you are in a play. You should tell your debtor pleasantly that you had come by several times but unfortunately you were not able to meet him, and that now perhaps because of yours or his punya you both are able to meet. Tell him that at the moment you are in some financial difficulties and that you need the money and if he is not able to pay you, that he should arrange to have someone else give you the money. Speak in such an appealing way that you can get your work done. People have egos, so if you lift their ego gently, they will do anything for you. You should not get into
