Dadashri: It was not July, it was June. I did not pay much attention to that. The enlightenment was all I cared about at the time.
Questioner: People will fret to look for it later on, will they not?
Dadashri: It will be discovered when they try hard enough surely. It will come about when there will be a need for
Do Pratikraman This Way
At that time because of my ignorance, before Gnan I had a tremendous ego: "This man is like this and so and so is like that'- there was nothing but contempt, contempt, contempt, contempt...but I would also praise people. On the one hand I would praise one person and be disgusted with another. Then after 1958, after Gnan, I told 'A.M.Patel' to purify all his mistakes of contempt he had for others. I told him to apply the
soap of pratikraman and cleanse everything. That is what I' did. I recalled every individual, all my neighbors, my aunts and my uncles and all my relatives. Contempt was directed towards everyone. I washed off all those mistakes.
Questioner: Did you do pratikraman in your mind or in person?
Dadashri: I told Ambalal Patel that I could see where he had done wrong to others and that he needed to wash away all those wrong doings. I showed him how to do it. I told him to recall all his misdeeds; for example if he had chided and verbally abused Chandubhai all his life and had been contemptuous towards him. I described it all to him in details. He should do his pratikraman in the following manner: He
should say: 'Dear manifest pure Soul of Chandubhai that is separate from Chandubhai's mind, body and speech and all karmas! I ask You for forgiveness for all the faults caused against Chandubhai. I do this with Dada Bhagwan as my witness. I vow never to repeat those mistakes'. I told Ambalal Patel to do this. If you all were to do this, you would notice a change of expression on the face of the person for whom you are doing pratikraman.. As you do pratikraman here, the changes will be visible at the other end.
The State After Gnan All the scientific circumstantial evidences came together at Surat Railway Station. The time was right and the Gnan manifest. At the time of the manifestation of Gnan I saw not with my physical eyes but my internal vision, the complete science behind how this world runs and functions. The ego simply departed. The feeling of 'I am the body and everything else vanished. Since then there has been nothing but an absolute state of enlightenment.
I lived in Baroda in this state of enlightenment. My friends continued to visit me back and forth because the karmic ties still remained. I would interact with them just as before, asking them how they were etc., but the attachment that was associated with all that was broken. Before, I used to interact to earn respect. I had never taken anything from anyone for free. In return that earned me my respect from people. So no work was carried out without getting something in return. Now all the work is getting done without involvement and expectation of respect.
It was four years after the enlightenment before anyone realized that something had happened. Then the crowds began to come here.
