This entire world is under Our [the Self’s] ownership.
We, Ourselves are the owners of this universe! Nevertheless,
why do we have to suffer pain? Why don’t you figure that
out? In fact, it is due to our fault that we have been bound.
People have not come to bind us. When the fault is destroyed,
then there will be liberation. And indeed You are free, but you
suffer bondage because of faults!
When one is the judge himself, and he, himself is
the defendant, and he, himself is the lawyer, then in what direction
would he draw the justice? Certainly, in his own
direction. Then he would surely dispense justice in his own
favor, wouldn’t he! Thereafter, he is certain to continue
making mistakes. And in this way, a living being continuously
gets bound. From within the judge says, ‘You have made a
mistake.’ Subsequently, the lawyer within starts defending,
‘What is my fault in this?’ In so doing, he, himself comes
into bondage! For the benefit of One’s own Self, one should
know that due to whose fault does bondage exists. The one
who is suffering is indeed at fault. From what is apparent,
from the common societal perspective, it is an injustice.
However, justice in the Lord’s terms says that “The fault is
of the sufferer.” In this justice, there is no work for an outside
[worldly] judge.
People are not at all aware of the arcane knowledge
regarding the reality of this world. While everyone knows
the knowledge of the relative world, it makes one wander
endlessly. When your pocket gets picked, then who is at fault?
This person’s pocket did not get picked, so why is it that only
your pocket got picked? Between the two of you, who is the
one suffering right now? The fault is of the sufferer! This Dada
has Seen it ‘as it is’ in the ‘Knowledge of the Self’ (Gnan)
that, ‘the fault is indeed of the sufferer.’
