60 Life Without Conflict
conflict and settle matters with equanimity , but the other person keeps harassing and insulting us ?
Dadashri : Nothing . That is your karmic account and therefore you should make a decision that you want to settle with equanimity . You should remain within the confines of your principles and intentions and continue to solve your own puzzle yourself .
Questioner : When someone insults me , is it because of my ego that I feel insulted ?
Dadashri : When someone insults you , he is actually dissolving your ego , and that is your dramatic ego ( the relative or discharge ego ). Whatever excess ego you may have , becomes dissolved when someone insults you . What harm is it going to cause you ? These kinds of karmas prevent your freedom . Even if there is a small child in front of you , you have to tell him to free you .
If someone does injustice to you and you wonder and question why , then you will bind karma . It is on account of your mistake that he has to render the injustice to you . How can one ’ s understanding reach this level ? On the contrary , people will cause havoc . In the eyes of God , no one is doing justice or injustice ; everything is simply ‘ correct ’. How can one ’ s understanding reach this level ? If differences in opinion at home become less , there will be less quarreling and consequently , love will increase amongst everyone . If this happens , then know that Gnan has been understood and not otherwise .
Gnan says that you are foolish to look for justice . Penance is the solution for that .
In God ’ s eyes , if someone does you injustice , it is correct . The world on the other hand , will say that he did wrong .
