Questioner: Nowadays, in trying to appease someone’s heart, one’s pocket ends up getting picked.
Dadashri: Never mind that your pocket gets picked. It must be a [karmic] account from the past [life] that is being repaid. But if you appease someone now, then the reward for that will definitely come and I will even give a hundred percent written guarantee for this. I must have given happiness [in the past] and that is why I am receiving happiness right now. My ‘business’ is indeed to open up a ‘store of happiness’. You should not open up a ‘store of unhappiness’. A ‘store of happiness’; then, whoever wants happiness can come and take it, and if someone comes to give unhappiness, then you should say, “Oh! There is still some pending for me; give it, give it.” You should put it aside. So, if someone comes to give unhappiness, you should accept it. You have the [pending karmic] account, so of course he will come to give it, won’t he? Otherwise, no one comes to give unhappiness to me.
So open up a ‘store of happiness’ so that all you do is give happiness to everyone. Do not give unhappiness to anyone. Those who give unhappiness, someday someone stabs them with a knife, isn’t it? He sits around waiting [to take revenge]. Those who take revenge do not do so just for the sake of it; they are avenging their unhappiness.
