Questioner: Some people are such that no matter how well we conduct ourselves with them, they do not understand.
Dadashri: When the other person does not understand, then it is certainly your fault. Why is it that you did not come across someone who could understand you? Why is it that the circumstance of meeting this particular person came to you? Every time you have to suffer something, it is a result of your own fault.
Questioner: Then am I to understand that my karmas are that way?
Dadashri: Definitely. Without a fault of our own, we do not have to suffer. There is no person in this world who can hurt you in the slightest, and if there is someone who hurts you, then that is indeed your own fault. It is not the other person’s fault. He is an apparent doer who is instrumental in the unfolding of your own karma. Therefore, the fault is of the sufferer.
If a husband and wife are quarreling a lot, but after a while when they go to bed, if we quietly check on them,
the wife will be sound asleep while the husband will be tossing and turning. From this, we should understand that it is all the husband’s fault since the wife is not suffering at all. Whoever’s fault it is, they suffer. And at that time if the husband is sleeping while the wife stays awake, then you should know that it is the wife’s fault. The fault is of the sufferer. This is a very profound science. The entire world ‘bites’ [blames] only the apparent doer.
1) As long as someone gets hurt in the slightest, on your account; its effect will fall upon you. So beware. If the other person keeps 'disadjusting' and you keep 'adjusting', then you will cross this worldly life. 'Fault is of the sufferer'; if one is able to understand only this much, then not a single clash will remain in the home.
2) 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.
