Your home is actually like a garden. During the times
of Satyug, Dwapar and Tretayug [various era of the time
cycle], homes used to be like farms. Some farms had only
roses, while others had only plumerias. Nowadays, homes
have become like gardens. Should you not examine whether
a ‘flower’ [person] is a rose [personality] or a jasmine
[personality]? In Satyug it was such that, if one household
was of a rose, then everyone in it was a rose; and if another
house was of a jasmine, then all within were jasmines. In a
family, everyone used to be a rose plant, just as in a farm,
so there were no problems. Whereas nowadays, [families]
have become like gardens. In one home, one is a rose, another
is a jasmine; so the rose complains, ‘Why are you not like
me? Look at how white you are, and look at how pretty my
color is!’ So the jasmine will reply, ‘You are full of thorns.’
Now, if it is a rose, it will have thorns; if it is a jasmine,
there will be no thorns. The jasmine flower will be white,
and the rose will be pink or red. Currently, in this time of
Kaliyug, there are different plants in just one home. That is
why the house has become like a garden. But people do not
know how to recognize this, so what happens? That is indeed
why pain arises, isn’t it! The world does not have this vision.
Otherwise, no one is bad whatsoever. All this divisiveness
due to differences of opinions is due to one’s ego. The one
who does not know how to see that, it is his ego. I do not have an ego, therefore I have no divisiveness due to
differences of opinions with the world. I know how to see
that, ‘This is a rose, this is a jasmine, this is a tulip, and
this is the flower of a bitter gourd.’ I recognize all that [the
personalities]. So, they have become like gardens. Has that
not become a thing to admire? What do you think?
Questioner: That is correct.
Dadashri: It is like this, a change cannot occur in the prakruti. It has its own stock; it does not change. ‘We’ are familiar with each and every prakruti. ‘We’ recognize it immediately. Therefore, ‘we’ interact with people according to their prakruti. If you seek ‘friendship’ with the sun at twelve in the afternoon, then what would happen? Similarly, if you recognize that this is [the heat of the] summer sun while this is [the heat of the] winter sun, then would you have a problem? ‘We’ recognize prakrutis, so even if you are looking to conflict, ‘we’ will not let you conflict; ‘we’ would move away. Otherwise, we would both get into an accident, and both our spare parts would break. If the other persons ‘bumper’ breaks, then what would be the state of the one sitting inside? The condition of the one seated within completely flattens, doesn’t it? Therefore, recognize the prakruti. You should recognize the prakruti of everyone at home. In this Kaliyug, prakrutis are not in the form of a ‘farm’, they are in the form of a ‘garden’ where one is a plumeria, one a rose, one a pink jasmine, and one a white jasmine. All these flowers are fighting. One of them will say, ‘Mine is like this,’ whereas the other will say, ‘Mine is like this.’ One will say, ‘You have thorns, why would I stand next to you?’ And conflicts continue on in this way.
