The Mystery Behind Different Faces

doesn’t it? That is why people imagined that it cannot ever happen without God.

Questioner: Even that is a contradictory point. Even if someone were to make them, it would not be possible to make them like this.

Dadashri: Those which are formed from molds are identical, aren’t they! If there were ten kinds or a hundred kinds of molds, then every hundred or two hundred people would be identical, so then there would be a continuous problem, wouldn’t there? When the husband would come, you would have to look for some signs. You’d say, “Hey, I had applied vermillion on him, this person is not the one!” There would have to be some mark for identification, wouldn’t there? You would have to resort to creating some mark for identification.

Questioner: But Dada, one cannot even imagine the fiasco that would create.

Dadashri: God has not done this. People believe that if God really exists, then He would arrange everything by keeping everything different and separate, otherwise how would a person’s wife recognize him? But how did all such arrangements take place without God? The answer to this is, ‘The space is different. Whether a living being is sitting, standing, or lying down, the space is different for every living being, and the differences are on account of this.’

So that person tells me, “God has made everything wonderfully; just look, none of these faces are identical.” I told him, “If God had made them, then poor God would never have any free time. It is actually because the space is different, it is based on that that all of this has happened.” The time is the same for everyone. When I am speaking, although everyone is listening at the same time, their space is different. A person like you with a Ph.D. would understand that the space is different, wouldn’t you?

Questioner: It is different.

Dadashri: That is why there are all these differences. That is why ‘we’ have said, “It is vyavasthit (a result of scientific circumstantial evidences).” It is so systematic that no mistakes of any kind would ever be found. If God were to make this Himself, then there would have been mistakes. This is because God does not have any intellect whatsoever, whereas all this is the work of the intellect. God has Knowledge but no intellect whatsoever. This has actually been made by nature; this is but natural! How beautiful is this creation! And that too, it has come about on the basis of vyavasthit. When ‘we’ say that God does not have any intellect, then God would actually laugh, but if you were to say so, He would get upset! Therefore you should not say that. Do not say what ‘we’ say. ‘We’ have a different kind of friendship with Him. ‘Our’ ‘marriage’ to Him is of a different kind, whereas you are not ‘married’ to Him. You have become acquainted with Him, but you are not ‘married’ [to Him].

Questioner: We are not ‘married’, but we are ‘engaged’, aren’t we?

Dadashri: Yes, the ‘engagement’ has taken place, but not the ‘wedding’.

Each and Every Grain Is Different…

If there is a small waterfall somewhere, and when you go there, will you not see water bubbles? Some bubbles may be this size; others may be this size. There, can you see anyone who created them?

Questioner: No.

Dadashri: And the bubbles may vary in size, but is there a change in their design? They are half round, and their design and the shape is the same, but the size is not the

same. Likewise, they burst at different times. Now, someone may ask, “Why do these bubbles vary in size?” The answer is, as the water falls, its space changes. The space is not the same. Space does so much work!

Questioner: What you are saying is wonderful, Dada.

Dadashri: Every grain is different in the khichdee (an Indian dish made from rice and lentils). Do they look the same? There is a difference in each one. This is because the space of each one is different. Each grain has boiled in its own space.

Just imagine, all of this is based on space. This is a very vast Science; it is a Science that is worth knowing!

The Face Is Based on Space

If the face of every human being were the same, then it would be impossible to identify them. And then our worldly interactions would not function well. Upon leaving the movie theater, it would be next to impossible to identify your husband, wouldn’t it?

Questioner: The category of the Self is the same for everyone isn’t it, Dada? So why is there a difference in this?

Dadashri: There is always a difference in the space, for every living being. The space in which one person is residing, no one else can come into that space.

Questioner: I see. So can that space not be replaced?

Dadashri: No. It means that, it is because of one’s own space that this difference is there. Just look, what a wonderful arrangement it is! The face is according to space; one’s height and everything else, is all based on space!

Questioner: Are the differences due to the attributes of the prakruti?

Dadashri: All of this is different. Can a father and a son occupy the same space? Would their space be different or not? Or would it coincide? So the body and everything else is on the basis of space. Therefore, as many living beings as there are, there is that much space, and that many faces are all different. Otherwise, you would never be able to find your son if you were to look for him.

And if people were not different, then the husbands and wives would keep getting mixed up. A man’s wife would go with another man, and he would go with someone else’s wife. How would anyone be recognized if all the faces looked the same?

Just look, there are all kinds of shapes of people, novel shapes. There are so many changes in the shape!

If there were no change in the space, then everyone’s faces would look the same. So what a predicament that would be! People would be put in difficulty! How beautifully arranged the world is! No one has created it. It has come about without being created.

Questioner: Very rarely do we get to see photos of two people who look identical.

Dadashri: Not very rarely; there is not a single person like that. Where have you seen two people who look identical?

Questioner: Such photos have been released, just recently such photos have been released. Both look identical.

Dadashri: No, they may appear to be identical, but that is not so, in exactness.

Questioner: Can there be people just like these on other planets?

Dadashri: It is the very same everywhere.
