Antraya karma - Events Dadabhagwan

to eat, so why not let her! Perhaps she did not like bhakari (wheat bread). Thehusband would nag her every day. One day the lady told me, ‘Everyday when I eat,he does not let me eat in peace!’ Allya mooah! (Hey you, dying man!), what kindof a man are you? This is called antaraya karma. You will not get any rice to eat.Why are you doing this? Why not sit peacefully? He did not have theunderstanding and thinks that the problem will be solved by doing that. Let’ssuppose that eats less the next day, but obstacles will be created against you, won’tthey?Questioner: But we do not know all this, and that is why we create manysuch obstacles. Today is the first time that we have come to know of this.Dadashri: It is not that you don’t know of it, no one else knows it either. Allthese words that have been written in the scriptures, only the Gnani Purushunderstands them. Others just talk about them. They will say, ‘I have antarayakarma, I have antaraya karma’, but hey, what is antaraya? What is it? You haveno knowledge, you just talk big, that is all! There are big words in the scriptures,but if you ask them, ‘what does this mean? Please explain it to me in a way that achild would understand.’ They will say no, they don’t know that. They can only dothat when they understand it themselves. Whereas, I will tell even a child, hey,why are you creating obstacles even when this much is being given? You will notget things! That is antaraya karma! That is called vigna (obstacle; impediment)karma. We create the vigna, so the vigna comes to us. That is called vigna karma.Questioner: So in such circumstances, for example if she has diabetes andshe takes a lot of rice, should we become the ‘knower-seer’ and keep ‘seeing’ that?Dadashri: What else are you going to do? And what will happen even ifyou do not? Whatever she may be doing, even if she pours a whole container ofghee (clarified butter) over it and eats, what has that got to do with you? You aretroubled because she is eating in your presence, isn’t that so? Even when you arepresent, think of yourself as being absent. Think to yourself, ‘I am not there’. Shewould do the same, if you were not present, wouldn’t she? The poison is yourpresence, so get rid of the poison. All the poison is from what you see.Questioner: With the clarification we got today, we will find the solutionsfor many things. All we are doing is only antaraya karma.If we see that something is going to harm someone, then shouldn’t we say‘no’ to him?
