Chandubhai says anything hurtful to anyone, you have to reproach him and tell him to do pratikraman.
Questioner: Shoot the faults on sight by pratikraman immediately.
Dadashri: Yes, and not throughout the day but if you feel that you have hurt someone by what you have said, you must do pratikraman for it. Pratikraman has to be done by the one that does atikraman (aggression, not the real You. You will have to know the entire principle of this Science in your heart. You do not need to remind yourself by writing it down. All we are concerned with is to accomplish our goal of liberation.
Questioner: I really liked what you said in Aurangabad Dada.
Dadashri: Yes.
Questioner: You said, "pratikramans occur even before the mistake occurs and that pratikraman reaches the other person even before the fault occurs."
even after we met you, and had taken Gnan from you. Does it mean that the Self was not awakened?

Questioner: No.
Dadashri: The fire is burning, not the observer. It is really Chandubhai who is feeling suffocated but all you have to do is pat him on the back and say, “brother, I know what you are going through... Bear them. You created them and so now they are back."
Questioner: But Dada, one can still feel the heat of the fire (fault), even if he is standing away from it.
Dadashri: Yes, one would feel it. Questioner: I feel so overwhelmed by the amount of my
Dadashri: Yes, they are shoot-on-sight-pratikramans. They start by themselves even before the fault is committed and you would not even know how they started. That is the result of inner awareness.
Faults Disperse As The Veils Of Ignorance Are Dispelled
Before you met me you could not see your own faults because the Soul within was not awakened. It is the power of the awakened Soul within that allows you to do this.
Questioner: We could not see our faults in the beginning
