The Fault is of the Sufferer
19
Dadashri: You got injured and that is why you became
extremely emotional, right? And what if a stone were to
roll down a cliff and hit you on the head and you end up
bleeding?
Questioner: In that situation, I would believe that it was
subject to karma, I was meant to get hurt, therefore I got hurt.
Dadashri: But would you not hurl abuses at the cliff?
Would you not get angry at that moment?
Questioner: There is no reason to become angry
because I do not know who did it.
Dadashri: How come your wisdom arises in the latter
case? Does the wisdom arise naturally and spontaneously
or not? On the same note, all these people are mere ‘cliffs’.
Invariably, all those who throw ‘stones’, hurl abuses, or steal,
are nothing but ‘cliffs’, they are not the Self. If this can be
understood, then your work will be accomplished.
When someone appears to be at fault, it is the enemies
of anger-pride-deceit-greed within you that make it appear
that way. It is not through One’s own vision that the other
person appears to be at fault, it is the anger-pride-deceit-greed
that make it appear that way. The one who does not have any
anger-pride-deceit-greed actually does not have anyone to
show him that the other person is at fault, and he does not
see anyone at fault either. In reality, there is no one at fault.
Anger-pride-deceit-greed have entered within, and that is
due to the belief, ‘I am Chandubhai’ [reader to insert his or
her name in place of Chandubhai]. Once the belief that ‘I am
Chandubhai’ departs, then anger-pride-deceit-greed will go
away. However, it will take them some time to vacate the
‘house’. That is because they have lived there for so long,
haven’t they?
