Whenever we have to endure suffering without any fault of our own, then our heart repeatedly cries out in pain saying, ‘What is my fault in this? What wrong have I done in this?’ However, no answer is found, so the ‘lawyers’ residing within us, immediately start litigating that, ‘There is no fault of mine in this. It certainly is the other person’s fault in this, isn’t it?’ Ultimately, they will make you believe that and justify that, ‘Then again, if he had not done that, then would I have had to do or say such a bad thing?’ In this way, one covers up his own fault and proves that it is indeed the other person’s fault. Thus, the sequence of karma is created!
Absolutely revered Dadashri has given a practically applicable maxim, which gives satisfactory closure from all angles even to the most common person for, “Who is at fault in this world?” Is it the robber or the one robbed? Of the two, who is the one suffering? The one robbed, he is indeed the one who suffers, isn’t it! The one who suffers is at fault! When the robber is caught and he suffers, that is when the punishment for his fault will transpire; today the punishment for your own fault has transpired. When you are the one that suffers, then who else is to be blamed? Thus, the other person is indeed seen to be innocent. If a tea set were to break at our hands, then who is it that we would blame? And what if it were to break at the hands of the house help? It is like that. At home, in the business, at work, everywhere, ‘Whose fault is it?’ If you want to find out then investigate, ‘Who is the one suffering in this?’ It is that person’s fault. The suffering only exists to the extent that a fault exists. When the fault comes to an end, then no person in this world, no circumstance, will be able to give us suffering.
1) There is no one in the world to bother the one who wants to see only his own faults, and no one else's.
2) The ultimate awareness is the one when nobody in the world is seen faulty.
