You Clashed Due to Your Own Mistake

Any clash that arises in this world is indeed your own mistake; it is not the mistake of the other person. The other person is going to clash anyway. If asked, “Why did you clash?” The response would be, “Because the other person clashed!” So, not only are you blind but he has become blind too.

Questioner: What happens if we create a clash within a clash?

Dadashri: You’ll break your head open! If a clash arises, what must you understand?

Questioner: That it is indeed my fault.

Dadashri: And you should immediately accept it. If a clash arises, then you should come to the realization that, ‘What was it I said that caused this clash?’ Once you realize your own mistake, it means a solution has come about; thereafter the puzzle is solved. Otherwise, as long as you keep trying to prove that the other person is at fault, the puzzle will never be solved. Only when you accept ‘it is my mistake’ will you be free from this world. There is no other solution. All other solutions lead to entanglement and to try to find a solution is your hidden egoism that lies within. Why are you looking for solutions? If the other person points out your fault, then you should say, “I have always been awkward.”

It is the intellect that makes one clash in worldly life. Hey, even if one goes according to what the wife says, adversity arises, clashes take place, whereas this is ‘Miss Intellect’! If you listen to ‘her’, there is no telling where you may be thrown off! Oh, ‘she’ may even wake you up at two in the morning and show you negative things. You encounter your wife only at certain times, whereas the intellect remains with you all the time. The intellect is such that it can ‘dethrone’ you.

If you indeed desire liberation, then do not listen to the intellect at all. The intellect is such that it will even point out faults of the Gnani Purush. Hey, did you actually see faults of the very person through whom you will attain liberation? If so, then your liberation will be postponed for infinite lives to come!

Clashes themselves are your own ignorance. If you clash with anyone at all, then that is a sign of your own ignorance. God does not look at right or wrong. God only looks to see this much, ‘Regardless of what the other person said, has there been any clash as a result?’ If the answer is no, then God will say, “That is all we want.” So there is no such thing as right or wrong as far as God is concerned. Only people are preoccupied with this concept. Where God is concerned, there is no duality at all!
