Swajan : So there is no fault of others when they cause dukkha to me?
Pujya Shree Mota : The fault lies with the very way the worldly affairs are constructed. We get unhappy as there is ignorance regarding the very nature of this world and prakruti. We also fail to find the root cause of happiness due to this ignorance.
We are not going to improve defects in other people. It is also a fallacy to believe that we can remove these defects. We must accept this as a basic fundamental fact. It is a false understanding that we will be happy if others improve by our suggestions and we get peace and happiness in return. This understanding is wrong because it is directed by ego. How can we improve others when we ourselves are full of defects directed by ego?
And there is one more thing. It is also true that our peace will be disturbed by repeatedly noticing and thinking about others faults. Let go completely the habit of noticing other peoples faults. There will always be conflicts, quarrels, afflictions and indecisions in this world as it is the very nature of it.
