Authority Is Given Based on the Laws of Nature

What is nature like? It does not allow for anything to happen, even to the slightest extent, for what anyone has willed. However, the one through whom no one is hurt even to the slightest extent, be it through the mind, speech, or conduct, nature gives such a person all the authority to allow for whatever he has willed, to happen.

This life is already so sorrowful and amidst that, if you behave egoistically in this way, if you behave irrationally, then what if you become deaf? Or what if the time has come for you to use aids to see? Why the egoism? When he becomes worthy of helping with a support, then he does not have ego. The one who is not worthy of helping with a support, has all that ego!

Where was your ego when you were studying in school, and now that ego has woken up? While your teacher used to sit on the chair, you would sit on the floor. Why did your ego not arise at that time? It is all because some authority has come into your hands that [the ego] is going wild! And the law of nature is that when authority is misused, that authority ends up getting taken away. Whatever authority you have attained, if you misuse it, then that authority will get taken away. I am sitting in this position as a Gnani. If I were to misuse it, then I would automatically lose this position. Even if I don’t misuse it, but if I were to use these siddhis (spiritual powers) in other ways, then nature would catch me! Do siddhis actually exist?

Questioner: They do.

Dadashri: What happens when they are misused? The position is lost. If you misuse anything, then you end up losing that position.
