 Nature is prepared to deliver the effects of whatever karma you have bound.

So if you want to be free from all the suffering in this world, you must not retaliate towards those who hurt you. If you hurt someone even slightly, then in your next life, the effect of the karma caused will not leave without taking revenge against you. The revenge may come in countless ways. A snake may even bite you. You cannot afford to create any vengeance with anyone in this world. And whatever suffering you experience, it is the result of your own past wrongdoings; where you have hurt others. Otherwise, there would be no suffering in this world.

**Questioner:** So is life a perpetual conflict?

**Dadashri:** Yes, but if you create an atmosphere of ahimsa, nothing can harm you. Not even a snake or a tiger will harm you. Even if someone were to throw a snake at you, the poor creature will leave you unharmed. You cannot imagine the tremendous power behind ahimsa. The power of ahimsa is matchless. There is no greater weakness than that of violence. All the suffering in this world is due to violence. Tremendous violence.

Not a single living being has the power to hurt you, and the one that does, does so because of your own karmic account. So settle all your accounts. If someone hurts you or something bites you and you develop bitter feelings of revenge, you will be binding new accounts. When a dog bites you, if you feel within,'all these dogs should be killed', then you have created a new karmic account. No matter what the circumstances are, you should handle the situation with equanimity, without any attachment or abhorrence. You should not feel any negativity from within.

**Questioner:** But in these situations, our awareness fails us and we are not able to maintain our inner equanimity.

**Dadashri:** It is very difficult to cross the ocean of this worldly life and that is why I give you this Akram Vignan (the shortcut path to Self-Realization).
