How to end suffering?

Dadashri: People say that the power of tolerance should be increased, but how long can it last? The ‘rope’ of the Knowledge of the Self goes all the way to the end. How far does the ‘rope’ of the power to tolerate go? The power of tolerance has a limit. The Knowledge of the Self is unlimited. This Knowledge is itself such that the need to tolerate does not remain even to the slightest extent. To tolerate is like melting iron by looking at it with the eyes. That requires power. Whereas with the Knowledge of the Self, there is absolute bliss and freedom, without having to tolerate anything to the slightest extent! Moreover, there is the understanding that, ‘These are past karmic accounts that are coming to an end and I am becoming free!’

For the one who suffers, the fault is his; and the one who enjoys happiness, that is his reward. However, the
law that is based on wrong belief catches the nimit (the apparent doer who is only instrumental in the unfolding karma). Whereas God’s law only catches the one who is really at fault. This law is exact and it is not possible to make any change to it whatsoever. There is no law in this world that can give suffering to anyone! Even the law of the government cannot give suffering!

If this teacup were broken by you, then would you feel misery? When you break it yourself, then do you have
to tolerate it? However, if your son were to break it, then it would cause you misery, worries, and inner burning. If it is actually understood as a karmic account of your own mistake, then would there be any misery or worries? One, in fact, creates misery and worries by pointing out faults in others, and that only creates inner burning, day and night. And on top of that, one feels, ‘I have to endure so much.’

There must be some kind of fault in you, only then would the other person say something, right? Therefore, just go ahead and destroy the mistake! In this world, no living being can cause distress to another living being; that is how independent it is. However, if someone is causing distress, then it is because of interference done in the past. Upon destroying the mistake, there will be no karmic account left.
