deeper into artadhyan and raudradhyan and still I am not
aware of it. So how can I become aware about this?
Dadashri: When one feels hurt (dukh), is that not
artadhyan? And in raudradhyan there is increased suffering;
that suffering is more like a burning pain. All of it, artadhyan
and raudradhyan, are hurtful to man. It is nothing but ashata-
vedaniya (the karma of suffering).
Questioner: That occurs every moment. What do I have
to do to be free from all that?
Dadashri: Keep ‘seeing’ that ‘in reality, no one is at fault
(doshit) at all. I see it that way because of the unfolding of my
own karma. But truly it is not that way.’ Therefore, if he appears
at fault (doshit), this vision will show him as flawless (nirdosh),
and keep doing pratikraman.
If you have a negative or bad thought about anyone, you
should come to the conclusion that, ‘It is the unfolding of my
own karma, and how is that poor man to be blamed?’ In doing
this, he will cease to appear at fault (doshit) to you. And that
is considered dharmadhyan (absence of artadhyan-
raudradhyan). So, where raudradhyan was going to take place,
you turned it into dharmadhyan. And that will give you great
inner bliss. ‘He appears at fault only due to the unfolding of my
own karma. He is just a nimit (evidentiary doer).’
Currently, the other person is never truly at fault; he is
simply a nimit (instrumental evidence) in the unfolding of your
own karma.
Our Own Kashays Are Our Enemies
Do nimits ever come to you?
Questioner: Sometimes.
Dadashri: Yes. That person is simply a nimit. He is not
the actual doer. If a thief picks your pocket, he is a nimit. He
