The Fault is of the Sufferer
3
Whereas with the ‘Knowledge of the Self,’ there is absolute
bliss and freedom, without having to tolerate anything to the
slightest extent! Moreover, there is the understanding that,
‘These are past karmic accounts that are coming to an end
and I am becoming free!’
The one who suffers pain, it is his fault; and the one
who enjoys happiness, that then, is his reward. However,
the regulation that is with wrong belief catches the nimit
(the apparent doer who is only instrumental in the unfolding
karma). While the regulation as per God’s law, the real law,
only catches the one who is really at fault. This law is exact and
it is not possible to make any change to it, whatsoever. There is
no law in this world such that it can give suffering to anyone!
Even the law of the government cannot give suffering!
If this teacup were broken by you, then would you feel
pain? When you break it yourself, then do you have to tolerate
it? However, if your son were to break it, then it would cause
you pain, worries, and suffering. If it is actually understood as
a karmic account of your own mistake, then would there be
any pain or worries? One, in fact, creates pain and worries by
pointing out faults in others, and that only creates suffering,
day and night. And on top of that, one feels, ‘I have to endure
so much.’
There must be some kind of fault in you, only then
would the other person say something, right? Therefore, just
go ahead and destroy the mistake! In this world, no living
being can cause distress to another living being; that is how
independent it is. However, if someone is causing distress,
then it is because of interference done in the past. Upon
destroying the mistake, there will be no karmic account left.
Questioner: If this theory is understood properly, then
the mind will have a satisfactory closure for all questions.
