Whatever Has Happened Is Justice Whatever Has Happened Is Justice | Page 20

8 Whatever has happened is justice Some people say that by praying to God, one’s troubles will go away. What a fallacy! People use God’s name to escape their responsibility. The responsibility is yours. You are “Wholely and solely responsible” for your actions. After all, the projection is only yours. If someone hurts you, you should accept it and credit it to your account. You only need to credit that which you have previously given. Nature’s law prevents one person from hurting another without a cause. There has to be causes behind this, so credit whatever comes your way. FOR THOSE WHO WANT LIBERATION If there is too much salt in the soup, that too is justice. Questioner : You have told us to observe whatever happens, then where is the need to seek justice? Dadashri : I am trying to explain justice in a different light. Let me explain. A man who gave me a glass of water must have had some kerosene on his hands. When I went to drink the water, I could smell the kerosene. I simply became the ‘observer’ and the ‘knower’ of this event. Why did this happen to me, and what is the justice behind this? It had never happened before, so why was it happening today? I concluded that it must be because of my own account, so I settled the account discreetly. If this were to happen again, then again I would drink the water without making a fuss. What would a person without self-realization do under these circumstances? Questioner : He would create a big fuss and start yelling. Dadashri : Everyone in the household would know, “Oh My! Today the master had kerosene in his drinking water!” Questioner : The whole house would be in an uproar.
