Whatever has happened is justice
beginning? This is all interference of the ego.
Whatever happens is justice. Do not look for justice. If your father criticizes you, it is justice. Do not demand an explanation as to why he criticized you. I am speaking from experience. Ultimately you will have to accept this justice. What is wrong in accepting your father's criticism? Accept whatever happens as justice in your mind, but do not express it to your father because he may take advantage of it.
From now on do not use your intellect. Accept the justice, whatever happens. People will otherwise question even the most trivial things.
If you offer someone some food and later on he gets angry with you for feeding him and wasting his time, even that is justice.
Whatever has happened is justice that it has been discovered and that it is not worthwhile for it to stay around.
DO NOT LOOK FOR JUSTICE Questioner: I want to get rid of this intellect, because it causes me a lot of suffering.
Dadashri: It is not so easy to get rid of the intellect. If you get rid of its causes, only then will its effects disappear. The intellect is an effect. What are its causes? Whatever happens in reality, if we call it justice, then it will disappear. What does this world say? You have to make do with whatever happens in the world. If you keep looking for justice, the conflicts will continue. The intellect cannot disappear easily. The way to get rid of it is to stop feeding its causes so that it withers away.
Questioner: You said that the intellect is an effect and if we find its causes, we would be able to stop it.
Dadashri : The cause of the intellect is our own pursuit of justice. If we stop looking for justice, the intellect will go away. Why do you look for justice?
When either spouse in a home manages to be free from the effects of intellect, things will run smoothly for them. If their intellect overpowers them, they would not be able to enjoy even their meals.
It is justice, when a drought occurs. During a drought, a farmer will complain about God's injustice. He does this out of ignorance. Will his complaints bring rain? That there is no rain is justice. It rains heavily in certain areas while others experience drought. Nature keeps everything Vyavasthit. It is impartial. Nature dispenses justice impartially.
All these things are based on nature's principles. This is the only rule that will eliminate your intellect. If you accept that whatever happens is just, then your intellect will dissolve. What sustains the intellect? Looking for justice sustains the intellect. If you do not give it support, it will come to know
I asked a girl why she was looking for justice and she replied, "You have no idea what my mother-in-law is like. Since I came into this home, she has given me nothing but grief. What have I done wrong?" I told her that no one harasses anyone without knowing him or her. It must be your unsettled account. She said, 'I had never seen her face before.' I told her, you may not have seen her in this life, but do you know the accounts of your past life with her? Whatever is happening with her is justice.
