People Think That This Law is Incorrect!

There is a man bicycling on the road. He is cycling on

his right of way but a motorcyclist comes from his wrong

side, from the wrong way and ends up breaking the cyclist’s
leg. Now, who is the one who has to suffer?
Questioner: The cyclist. The one whose leg is broken.
Dadashri: Yes. Which one of the two has to suffer
today? The one who broke his leg. Today, through the
motorcyclist, an apparent doer instrumental in this process,
the cyclist received the result of his previous karmic account.
Meanwhile, right now the motorcyclist is not suffering. His
fault will be exposed when he is caught. Therefore, the one
who suffers is at fault.
Questioner: The person who got hurt, what was his
fault?
Dadashri: His fault is his past karmic account, which
has been cleared today. Without a past karmic account, no one
would have to endure even the slightest of pain. When the
past karmic accounts have not been cleared, that is when pain
is endured. Because his karmic account came to fruition, that
is why he got caught. Otherwise, people in this world do not
get caught to this extent. Why do you move about fearlessly?
One would answer, “If it is in my karmic account, then it will
happen. And if there is no karmic account then what is going
to happen?” Isn’t that what our people say?
Questioner: What can be done to ensure that one does
not suffer at all?
Dadashri: Attain final liberation. Do not inflict even
the slightest of pain whatsoever to anyone. If someone were
to inflict pain upon you and you accrue it, then your book of
karmic accounts would clear. When you do not give pain back
to anybody, when you do not start any new transactions, and
when you settle pending accounts, then it will get paid off.
Questioner: So the one whose leg broke, the sufferer
should believe, ‘It is my fault,’ and hence should not take any
action at all against the motorcyclist?
Dadashri: It is not that he should not take any action.
What I mean to say is that the resultant effect of the mind
should not change. Whatever is possible in terms of worldly
interactions, let that take place. However, attachment and
abhorrence should not arise in the mind. Whoever understands,
‘It is my fault,’ for them, attachment and abhorrence will not
arise.
In worldly interactions, if the police officer says, “State
your name!” then you must state your name. You must
perform all worldly interactions, but they should be done in
a ‘dramatic’ manner [as one would in a drama], without any
attachment or abhorrence. After you have understood, ‘It is
my fault,’ then what fault is it of the poor motorcyclist? This
world sees with open eyes, so you have to give them proof,
but you should not harbor any attachment or abhorrence
towards him. This is because it is not his fault at all. You are
making the accusation that it is his fault. However, it is from
your perspective that you deem it as unjust. However, in fact,
it is due to a change in your perspective that it is appearing
to be unjust.
Questioner: That is correct.
Dadashri: If someone is inflicting pain upon you, then
it is not his fault. However, if you are suffering the pain, then
it is your fault. That is the law of nature. What is the law of
this world? The one who inflicts pain is at fault.
If one understands this fine point then there will be
clarity, won’t there? Only then, would a solution come about
in a person’s life.
