Dadashri: Those who are more at fault are the ones who take a beating in this world. Just see who is the one taking a beating. The one who is taking the beating is certainly the one at fault.
Based upon how much one suffers, you can deduce how much the person is at fault!
In a household of ten people, two of them do not even have the slightest thought as to how the household expenses are being managed. Two of them have the thought, ‘We should help out at home,’ while a few of them are actually helping out. And while one of them worries all day long over managing the household expenses, two of them sleep peacefully. So whose fault is it? Hey, mortal one! It is certainly the fault of the one who suffers, the one that worries. Those who are sleeping peacefully have nothing to do with it at all!
Whose fault is it? To answer that, figure out who is the one suffering? If ten teacups were to break at the hands of the house help, then would it have an effect on the members of the household or not? Now, among the members of the household, there are children; there is no suffering for them in this. Their father and mother continue to get frustrated. Of the two of them, the mother would at least fall asleep peacefully after a little while, but the father would keep on calculating, ‘Ten times five is fifty. That’s how many rupees the cups amount to!’ Because he is alert, he has to suffer more. The conclusion of this is that the fault is of the sufferer.
You should not have to search for the fault. Even great judges and lawyers should not have to search for it. Instead of that, this is the phrase that has been given as a thermometer, ‘The fault is of the sufferer.’ If one were to proceed by analyzing this much, then one would attain liberation directly.
1) There are worldly judges everywhere in this world, but there is only one judge of karma (deeds), the 'fault is of the sufferer'! This is the only justice, on which the whole world is running, and the worldly life continues to stand on the illusory justice.
2) The ultimate awareness is the one when no body in the world is seen faulty.
