________________ 24 Whatever has happened is justice Whatever has happened is justice 25 How can we kick it out? The intellect will stay forever with those who seek justice. Those who accept whatever has happened is justice, will be free from the effects of intellect. Questioner : But Dada, should we accept whatever comes our way in life? Does your son intimidate you at home? That intimidation is justice itself. Your intellect will tell you, "How dare he intimidate me? I am his father!" Whatever happens is justice. What does this Akram Vignan say? Look at this justice. People ask me how I managed to get rid of my intellect. I did not look for justice and so it simply went away. For how long can the intellect remain? As long as we look for justice, it will stay around, because our search for justice supports it. The intellect will say, "Why are they criticizing me when I did such a great job? This is the support you are giving your intellect. Are you looking for justice?

Do the lawyers help or do they just ask for their fees? You have invited the suffering. This suffering by invitation relates to the role of the intellect. Everyone is endowed with intellect. It is the developed intellect that causes suffering. This excess intellect brings about suffering where there is none. For me, the intellect went away after it developed. Not even a trace of it remains. A person asked me how it went away and whether it left because I kept telling it to go away. I told him that one should not do that. It had helped us along thus far in life. When faced with difficult decisions, it has shown us what to do and what not to do. INTELLECT LEAVES WHERE NATURAL JUSTICE IS ACCEPTED As soon as the occasion arises to look for justice, the intellect raises its head.
