Innocence through recognition of one’s own faults:

[Guest guest]

Excerpt from Forward in " The Flawless Vision " booklet by Dadashri

 

" One binds karma by seeing faults in others and becomes

free from his karma by seeing his own faults " is the principle of

karma.

 

" I am a vessel of countless faults, O compassionate one! "

-Shrimad Rajchandra

 

A human being has made countless mistakes in countless

lives. The root cause of these mistakes is just one mistake. There is

only one mistake, which supports the bondage of countless mistakes.

Which mistake is this?

 

It is the " Ignorance of one's real Self " that is the biggest

mistake of all. It is merely the lack of understanding of " Who am

I? " that has given rise to all kinds of wrong beliefs and in these

very wrong beliefs does he remain immersed for countless rebirths.

Once he meets a Gnani Purush, `this' mistake is destroyed and as

a result all other mistakes begin to do the same. This is because the

`Observer' is awakened and that is why the mistakes become

evident. Once they become evident, they will without doubt, be

destroyed.

 

That is why Krupadu Dev has also said:

" If these mistakes of mine are not acknowledged, what other

solution is there? "

 

If a person is not able to see his own fault, how can he

progress? Progress can only occur if the `Observer' becomes

aware.
