Questioner : No, every businessman has the same problem.
Dadashri : Some people come to me complaining that they are not able to collect their money. They never came to me when they were able to. Have you come across the word ‘oograni' (collection of debt)?
Questioner : If someone insults us, is that not oograni (payment of debt)?
Dadashri : Yes, it is all a debt. When he insults you, he will really insult you. He will even use words that are not found in the dictionary. The burden of responsibility in using such language lies on his shoulders. At least that responsibility is not yours and that is good.
Questioner : It happens that way. Why are people belligerent towards us even though we have not said or done anything to them?

WORLDLY LIFE
Questioner: Even if we are absolutely straightforward in our dealings with someone, he still hurts us.
Dadashri : The fact that they hurt you is justice too.
Questioner: They always criticize me in everything I do. They even criticize the way I dress.
Dadashri : That is precisely what I call justice. When you look for justice in such situations, you suffer and pay the price. So do not look for justice. I have discovered this simple and plain fact. It is in the pursuit for justice that people have been scarred. Even after seeking justice, the results remain the same. Why not accept and understand this from the very
Our relentless search for justice has exhausted us. A person always asks what fault was it of his to deserve such
