The Practice of Humanity
hurts him, then at that point it seems as though a contradiction is arising. So at that point, what should be done?
Dadashri: There is no problem with that. As long as your point of view is legitimate, there is no problem. If your intention towards that person is beastly, then that should not be so. And if a contradiction does arise, then you should ask for that person's forgiveness. In this way, accept that mistake. The practice of humanity should be [followed] in its entirety.
When the House Help Causes Damage
Why does difference of opinion (matbhed) occur between people?
Questioner: The reason difference of opinion occurs is self-interest (swaarth).
Dadashri: In fact, when one does not fight, it is considered Self-interest. There is always happiness in Selfinterest.
Questioner: But if it is spiritual Self-interest, then there is happiness in it; if it is worldly self-interest, then there is nothing but unhappiness in it!
Dadashri: Yes, but even worldly self-interest can be reasonable. Whatever happiness one has does not leave, it does not decrease. One conducts himself such that it increases. Instead, worldly happiness goes away by quarreling. If glasses were to fall from your wife's hands, it would so happen that a loss of about twenty dollars would be incurred, then you would immediately get agitated in your mind, ‘She has caused a loss of twenty dollars.' Hey you mortal one, she has not caused the loss; they just fell from her hands! If they were to fall from your hands, then what justice would you dispense? That is the way in which you should dispense justice.
