Take a Beating for the Sake of Becoming Free

Nature has never prevailed outside of justice for even a moment. If nature were to ever prevail outside of justice for even a moment, then that nature is not nature.

What is the law of this world? The strong beat up the weak. Whom does nature make strong? Those who have bound fewer demerit karma ( paap) are made strong and those who have bound more demerit karma are made weak.

What does nature say? Any injustice towards you is still justice and any justice done towards you is also justice. Hence, do not have any ‘ my- ness’ ( sankalp) and ‘I-ness’ ( vikalp), otherwise you will inevitably have to accept justice even while crying. Instead, simply say that it is vyavasthit, then a solution will come.

If you want to become free, then take a beating once. I have done exactly that my entire life. Thereafter, I came to the conclusion that I have no beatings of any kind left to take and no fear remains either. I have come to the exact conclusion of what the entire world is. I myself have arrived at the conclusion, but now I am also helping others arrive at that conclusion.

So, sooner or later, will you not

have to come to this understanding? The law does not spare anyone. Therefore, stop committing all offenses. Committing the slightest offense means that you will have to suffer the consequence of having four legs [a life-form as an animal]. Is there any happiness in a life where one has four legs?

Dadashri: They have certainly created this. They have indeed brought upon this suffering.

When one becomes vikalpi, he becomes responsible. When he becomes responsible, nature most certainly gives him a beating. Nature does not give suffering to anyone. Nature is actually nothing but helpful!

Nature helps those who want to progress and nature also helps those who want to regress. What does nature say? “I will help you. Whatever work you want to do, if you want to steal, I will help you.” There is tremendous help from nature. It is with the help of nature that all this is functioning! However, you are not making a decision as to ‘What do I want to do?’ If you make a decision, then nature is indeed ready to help you. First, decide that ‘I want to do this much.’ Then, early in the morning, you should recall it with a firm resolve. You should remain sincere to your resolve; then nature will side with you and help you. You are a guest of nature.

You are able to get all the food and drink while sitting at home. You are able to get air even while using the toilet. [Nature] Is there to provide you with all the necessities. And it has kept you as a guest! Now, if it has kept you as a guest, then what should you do? You should behave like a guest. However, if you were to go into the kitchen and add salt to the yogurt soup and keep stirring it, then what would happen? Nature is bound to you; it says, “I am bound to keeping you as a guest.”
