Who is responsible for my suffering?

Dadashri: Whose fault is it? It is of the one who suffers! What is the fault? The belief of ‘I am Chandubhai’ is itself your fault. This is because no one in this world is at fault whatsoever. Hence, no one is a culprit either. Therefore, that is proved.

After all, no one in this world is able to do anything. Nevertheless, whatever karmic accounts have been formed, they will not let up. Whatever complicated account has been formed will certainly give a complicated result. So from now on, do not create any more complications. Put an end to it. Put an end to it from the moment that you have come to know this. You will have to repay the old complications that had been formed, but make sure that no new ones are formed. The entire responsibility is indeed yours. It is not God’s responsibility. God does not interfere in this. Therefore, even God cannot grant forgiveness for this. Many devotees believe, ‘I am performing a misdeed and God will forgive me for it’. God does not give such forgiveness. Merciful people give such forgiveness. If you were to tell a merciful person, “Sir, I have severely wronged you!” He would immediately forgive you.

The one who hurts you is merely a nimit. The original fault is actually your own. The one who benefits you is a nimit and the one who harms you is also a nimit. In both cases, it is indeed your own karmic account, and that is why it happens!

I am openly telling you that within your boundary, no one has the power to interfere, but if you are at fault, then anyone will come in to interfere. They will even come and hit you with a stick! I have discovered who truly strikes the blows. Everything is yours and yours alone! No one has spoiled your worldly interaction. You have spoiled your own worldly interaction. You are whole and sole responsible for your worldly interaction.

Chandulal* =  Whenever Dadashri uses the name 'Chandulal' or the name of the person Dadashri is addressing, the reader should insert his or her name for exact understanding.

Related Quotes:

1) Whose fault is it? The one who is suffering. Which fault? The belief that 'I am Chandulal', verily is your mistake. It is the belief that causes all the suffering . When this belief goes away, then no one is guilty in this world.

2) People have seen the 'theory of doership', but they have not seen the 'theory of karma'. 'This man insulted me', is a 'theory of doership'; and 'he is cursing me as a result of unfolding of my karma', is 'theory of karma'. If one understands the 'theory of karma', he will not see anyone's fault.

Related Science:

1) If a person suffers, it is because of his own mistakes. If a person enjoys happiness, it is the reward of his good deeds. But the law of the world is such that it accuses the nimit (the apparent 'doer' - person who inflicts the suffering). God's law, the Real Law, catches the real culprit. This law is exact and no one can ever change it. There is no law in this world that can inflict suffering upon anyone, not even the law of the government.

2) If someone blames you for something, surely you must be at fault somewhere ? Why not destroy that mistake ? In reality, no person in this world can cause hurt to another. This is how independent every living being is. If there is any suffering, it is because of one's own past mistakes. Once these mistakes are destroyed nothing is left pending.

3) The fault is of the sufferer is the law that will liberate you. If someone were to ask me how he could recognize his mistakes, I would tell him to make a note of all the circumstances where he experiences suffering. Those are his mistakes. He has to find the mistakes that lie behind his suffering. People suffer all the time; they must find their mistakes.

4) Your inner enemies : krodh (anger), maan (pride), lobh (greed) and maaya (attachment), makes you see faults in others. The vision of the Self (atma), does not see any faults in others. It is these inner enemies that makes one see faults in others. The one who has no inner enemies, has no one to show him fault in others and in fact he sees no fault in others. In reality, no one is at fault. These inner enemies are your weaknesses that possess you because of your wrong belief of, 'I am Chandulal (replace your name here)'. If this wrong belief leaves you, these weaknesses would disappear. However, it will take them some time to vacate the 'house' they have occupied for so long.
