The Ups and Downs Are a Part of the Law of Nature

This is the law of nature; these ups and downs will continue happening. That is certainly the law; it is indeed the law of this world.

While increasing, it subsequently declines by one degree the next day. If it is at 99, then it will become 98, and on the third day it will become 100. It then increases in this way. When it decreases, it ends up happening in this way; it keeps decreasing in this way. It ascends and then descends, it decreases at that time. So people are unable to pick up on this pattern and that is why they keep becoming entangled. Even if one is taking a loss, he will one day think, ‘This is fine.’ Then the day after tomorrow, he will take a doubled loss! Once he starts to descend, [nature] will make him ascend once again. These are all indeed the laws of nature; they are all natural laws. Have you seen those graphs when you go to a hospital?

Questioner: Yes, in it…

Dadashri: It plummets and then it spikes. However, there is a slight difference in it through the view of nature. It keeps plummeting and spiking. Even at the time of descending, the fluctuation will still keep happening. Even at the time of ascending, it ascends amidst the fluctuations. It is not only ascending. Otherwise, no hope would remain and all the hope would be broken.

Otherwise, a person’s hope would be completely broken. So if his unfolding karma is bad, then he may receive a blow today, but he gets patched up tomorrow. Then he may feel good for the next two to four days, but then he will once again receive an even more intense blow. In that way, the slope will take him downwards. And if [nature] takes him up, then it is through this very same process.

All of this carries on through the rules of nature.
