THE PERSON WHO GIVES IN WINS
Are you trying to look for justice in this world? Whatever
happens, is justice. If someone slaps you, it is justice. When
you begin to understand it in this way, you will solve all your
problems.
If you do not tell yourself that, ‘Whatever happens is
justice,’ your intellect will become very restless. For infinite lives
the intellect has been responsible for creating confusion and
conflict. In reality there is never an occasion where one needs
to defend himself. As for myself, I never come across an occasion
where I need to say anything. The one who lets go in a dispute
is the one who wins and the one who keeps tugging, does so
at his own risk. How can you tell when the intellect is gone? It
is when one stops looking for justice. When you become
convinced that ‘Whatever happens is justice,’ it means that your
intellect is gone. What does the intellect do? It keeps looking
for justice, and because of this, your worldly life continues.
Therefore, do not look for justice.
Is justice something one has to look for? Whatever
happens is correct - this should be the spontaneous acceptance
because nothing happens outside of ‘Vyavasthit.’
YOUR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TRAP YOU
The intellect creates a storm and spoils everything. What
is intellect? It is that which seeks justice. When someone does

the goods? This ‘why not’ is the function of the intellect. When
injustice is committed (according to the view of the world), it is
in fact justice. You should still attempt to collect what is owed
to you. Just calmly tell the person that you need the money
because you are in difficulty. There is no need to become hostile
