mind.
We have not come here to inflict pain on anyone. Should
anything occur, may we give happiness. That is our goal. No
one should get hurt. Therefore, it is due to our lack of
understanding that the other person gets hurt. Furthermore, the
sense that ‘the mistake is his’ must not be there within you.
When the term ‘by his mistake’ arises in the slightest, know that
he is only the complex of mistakes. It is you who have taken up
the task of improving him. So then improve him without hurting
him.
Where Dislike Occurs the Moment You Set
Eyes on That Person
Questioner: Sometimes dislike occurs the moment we
set eyes on a person, the moment we see his behavior.
Dadashri: That is because you have an old habit and that
habit will not refrain from pushing you. You still get influenced by
it. But you should apply our Gnan to it, should you not? The
habit is from the past and so it will continue to arise, but if you
keep applying our Gnan to it, it will gradually become still. The
old habits have to come to an end, don’t they?
Questioner: My question is, why does it occur only for
certain people? Is it due to some contemptuous tendencies that
arise or something like that?
Dadashri: It will only come if there is a karmic debt
from the past, right? But today it is of no consequence. Today
we are looking at his Shuddhatma (the Self). That day you had
a dislike for his external packing – the relative self. The interactions
were at the ‘packing’ level – the relative level. Today you have
nothing to do with that packing. He has to face the consequences
of his packing. Before, you used to believe that he is ‘Chandulal’
and that is why you had scorn towards him.
Questioner: That is based on an opinion, is it not?
