Dadashri: Every day it appears in the news, ‘Today, in a taxi, two people robbed this person.’ ‘Robbers tied up the owner of the apartment, and carried out a robbery.’ After reading this, you need not be scared, ‘What if I also get robbed?’ This suspicion is itself an offense. Instead of that, just proceed in a manner that is natural and spontaneous! If it is in your karmic account, then someone will take it away, otherwise, there is no father figure out there interested in your affairs! Therefore, you should go about fearlessly. The newspaper writers will write things. Does that mean you should get scared? It is a good thing that divorces happen at a low rate. If divorces were to start happening at a higher rate, then everyone’s suspicion of, ‘What if I also end up getting divorced?’ would get support. At a place where a hundred thousand people are robbed, you should not be fearful. There is no father figure out there who is superior to You.
Is it the robber who suffers, or the one who has been robbed that suffers? Check and see, ‘Who is the one
suffering?’ If you came across robbers and they rob you, then do not cry after the fact, move on!
The world is not for suffering, it is for enjoying happiness. The magnitude of karmic account one has, that much he will face. Some people experience only happiness. Why is that? Some experience only unhappiness. Why is that? It is because one has brought forth such karmic accounts.
‘The fault is of the sufferer.’ If just this one phrase is written and displayed in the home, then at the time of suffering, one will know whose fault it is. That is the reason why so many people have in large font displayed on their walls, ‘The fault is of the sufferer!’ Then the point will never be forgotten!
If a person were to use this phrase his entire life, having understood it in its exactness, then he would not need to have a spiritual guide, and this phrase itself is such that it will lead him to final liberation.
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 Secret Knowledge (absolute knowledge) is not in the attention of this world. But everyone is aware of the knowledge of ignorance which causes them to wander life after life. Your pocket got picked then who's fault it is? His pocket did not get picked up & why only your pocket got picked? Which of the two (You or the Pick Pocketer) is suffering now? 'The Fault is of the Sufferer'.
Thousands of households in Bombay have incorporated this sentence "Fault is of the Sufferer" into their daily life. You can see this statement written in bold letters on the walls in their homes. When something breaks in the house the children will immediately remind their mother that the fault is hers because of the look on her face. If there is too much salt in the vegetable curry, one just has look at the grimaces on the faces to know who is at fault. If all the soup spills by accident, whoever has the look of disgust on his face, is at fault. The fault is of the sufferer.
Now that I have explained this statement, immediately apply it to your own situations. If you are suffering because some one is harassing you, having heard the statement, 'The fault is of the sufferer', you should immediately understand and accept that I am the one at fault that is why I am being treated in this manner. This understanding will free you from the shackles of this worldly life. Otherwise your vengeance will continue to proliferate.
