Life Without Conflict
Nature Still Comes To Your Aid
Questioner : I have thoughts that are virtuous but they
do not last. Then the evil thoughts come. What is this?
Dadashri : What are thoughts? Thoughts will work
when you want to make progress or even when you want to
regress. You take the godly path and then you turn back. It’s
like that. You go forward one mile and then you turn back one
mile; one mile forward and one mile backward. It is better to
keep thoughts of just one kind. If you are going to go
backwards, keep going backwards and if you are going to go
forward, keep going forward. Nature will help the one who
wants to go forward and also the one who wants to go
backwards. Nature says, “I will help you in anything you want
to do. If you want to steal, I will help you even then.” There is
tremendous help from nature and it is through this help that
everything in the world functions. But you are the one who
cannot decide what you want. Nature is ready to help you if
you decide what you want. First decide what you want and
then every morning, recall your decision with determination.
You should remain sincere to your determination; then nature
will side with you and help you. You are the guest of nature.
So understand this fact. Nature says, “I will help you.”
God does not help, God does not have the time. Everything
around us is the creation of nature and the creation only takes
place because of the presence of God.
Questioner : Are we nature’s guest or are we part of

nature. To live as a guest is our preference. Wherever you sit
you will get air and water, free of cost. The priceless
commodity of nature is free to you. That which nature values
