Who is at fault?

Dadashri: ‘My mother-in-law is harassing me!’ This is what a daughter-in-law feels in her mind. Now, would she remember this all day and night or would she forget it?

Questioner: She definitely remembers it.

Dadashri: She remembers it day and night. So then, all of that affects the body and no other good things can go in. So what understanding do ‘we’ give her? This person got a good mother-in-law and this person also got a good mother-in-law, so why is it that you got this type of a mother-in-law? It is due to your past life’s karmic account. Go ahead and repay it. ‘We’ will show you how it can be repaid. Then she became happy. That is because her mother-in-law is not at fault. It is the fault of the one suffering. Therefore, the thinking that the fault lies with the other person, vanishes.

In this world, no one is at fault. Those who find faults in others are at fault. No one is at fault in this world indeed. Each person is subject to the unfolding of his or her own karma. Everyone is suffering, however, it is not that they are committing faults today. All this is happening as an effect of karma from the past life. Today, the person may be remorseful, but that ‘contract’ [from the past life] has already been made, so what can be done? There is no other option but for it to come into effect.

In this world, if you truly want to find out whose fault it is, then the one suffering is at fault. Is the mother-in-law hurting the daughter-in-law or is the daughter-in-law hurting the mother-in-law? Who is suffering in that? If it is the mother-in-law, then it is the fault of the mother-in-law. If the mother-in-law is hurting the daughter-in-law, then the daughter-in-law should understand, ‘It is my fault.’ Based on Dada’s Gnan, she should understand, ‘There must be a fault on my part and that is indeed why she is hurling abuses at me.’ So she should not find any faults in the mother-in-law. Finding faults in the mother-in-law results in increased entanglements and complexities. Moreover, if the daughter-in-law is harassing the mother-in-law, then with Dada’s Gnan, the mother-in-law should understand, ‘The fault is of the sufferer and because of that, I should accept this karmic account.’

If the mother-in-law scolds the daughter-in-law, and yet, the daughter-in-law remains happy, while the mother-in-law suffers, then the fault is considered to be of the mother-in-law. After instigating your sister-in- law, if you have to suffer, then it is your fault. If you do not instigate her, and yet she comes to hurt you, then there must be something pending from the past life, which she is giving back. At that time, do not make another mistake. Otherwise, you will have to suffer yet again! Therefore, if you want to become free, then whatever bitter or sweet repayments come your way, you should credit them. The past karmic account will be paid off. In this world, it is not at all possible for mere eye contact to occur without a previous karmic account! So then, is it possible for anything else to happen without a past karmic account? However much you have given to others, they will return that same amount to you. At that time, be happy and credit it, knowing that, ‘Whew! Now the book of karmic accounts will come to an end.’ Otherwise, if you make a mistake, then you will certainly have to suffer it again.

‘We’ have revealed that ‘The fault is of the sufferer.’ People feel it is such a wonderful thing and they say, “What a great discovery this is!”
