That is When You Will Be Liberated
When You stop ‘seeing’ faults, then You will be liberated.
If someone were to insult you, hurt you financially, or even
physically, but despite all that You do not ‘see’ any faults in him,
that is when You will be free from the entanglements of this
worldly life.
Have You stopped ‘seeing’ faults in others?
Questioner: Yes, Dada. I do pratikraman when I ‘see’
faults in others.
Satsang Destroys Mistakes
Satsang is of no use if it does not destroy your mistakes.
Satsang itself means to destroy mistakes. No one should be
hurt through your becoming the nimit. If someone does get hurt,
then the mistake is yours and that mistake has to be destroyed.
And if you cannot find the mistake, then it is the unfolding of
your karma and so keep on asking for forgiveness. Ask for
forgiveness directly from that person if he is a reasonable man.
But if he is unreasonable, then keep asking for forgiveness
internally.
Questioner: Sometimes in trying to settle all the files, I
get so entangled that I do not even think about doing pratikraman
and samayik. Is that being slack and lazy (pol)?
Dadashri: That is not considered being slack. Slack is
when you have the desire but you do not do it.
Questioner: Sooner or later, one will have to do
pratikraman for all one’s mistakes, will he not?
Dadashri: Don’t worry about that. To ‘know’ (janavoo)
the mistakes is more than enough. Pratikraman has to be done
when you hurt someone a lot.
