58 Life Without Conflict has come your way is solely because of your own past karma and that the other person is simply an instrument in the process. With this understanding and this Gnan, all your puzzles will be solved. Questioner : Does that mean we have to accept and come to a closure in our mind, that whatever we had dished out is coming back to us? Dadashri : The other person is a pure Soul and this, on the outside, is his prakruti. It is the prakruti that delivers the effect of past causes. You are the pure Soul and he too is a pure soul. Now where is the wire that connects the two? This is your prakruti and that is his; both the prakrutis are settling each other’s karmic debts. It is because of the unfolding of this prakruti’s karma that the other prakruti is giving something back. That is why we say, “This is my own karmic account that has come into maturation, the other person is merely instrumental in the process and by doing what he did, my karmic account is cleared and paid off.” When you have such a solution, is there a need to tolerate anything at all? What happens if you try to tolerate? If you do not solve things through Gnan and understanding, the spring will one day recoil. Have you ever seen a spring recoil? My spring used to recoil a lot. For a while, I used to tolerate a lot, but then when the ‘spring’ recoiled, everything around me would blow up! All this used to happen in the absence of Gnan but I do remember it well. It is all in my Gnan and that is why I am telling you not to learn to tolerate things. It is only in the state of ignorance of the Self that one has to tolerate. You must clarify everything through Gnan and understand what the consequences will be by doing things a certain way. What was the cause behind it? You have to look deeper in your account book, not a single event that comes to you is outside of your account book.
