________________
[13] Liberation from Artadhyan and Raudradhyan
237
Questioner: When 'we' remain separate as the Self and make 'Chandulal' do pratikraman, what is it called?
Dadashri: You are the pure Self now, but should this pudgal, the non-Self complex, not also attain liberation? This pudgal, which is a complex of thoughts, speech and acts, should be such that it does not hurt anyone. If you do not make it do pratikraman, it will not be free from mistakes. So if you do not keep this pudgal in dharmadhyan, there is no liberation, because the pudgal cannot attain the state of shukladhyan (the state of the Self). So that is why you should keep it engaged in dharmadhyan. You should make it do repeated pratikramans. Pratikraman should be done as many times as artadhyan
occurs.
Artadhyan occurs because of ignorance from your past life and for that you should do pratikraman. Artadhyan is an effect.
One Never Loses Shukladhyan in Akram Vignan
Questioner: One comes into artadhyan and raudradhyan by falling from shukladhyan; is that why one has to do pratikraman?
Dadashri: That is all true, but in reality You (the Self) do not have to do pratikraman. Shukladhyan never goes away. You have to work with the circumstances. If You (the Self) were to do pratikraman, then shukladhyan would go away, would it not?
Questioner: If raudradhyan and artadhyan occur in discharge, then one has to do 'on the moment' (shoot-on-sight) pratikraman.
Dadashri: Artadhyan and raudradhyan should not remain pending in the karmic account.
And You, too, are in the state of shukladhyan and

Pratikraman
dharmadhyan, but you simply have to do pratikraman, that is all. You will not attain as many worldly benefits as 'we' do, but You too are enjoying the same state as 'we' are in, are you not? Raudradhyan and all that will happen; it occurs naturally, but it should be followed by instant pratikraman. (226) Whoever Comes Here is Trapped
'You' do not have to do anything, do you? You have become a Shuddhatma. You have to tell 'Chandubhai' to do the pratikraman. Why did you do atikraman? What do You have to say? You have to say, 'You did the atikraman, so do pratikraman. You do not have to do pratikraman if you give a donation to someone, because dharmadhyan is also included in this science.
Pratikraman is to be done for atikraman. This science is not just shukladhyan. It is not possible for one to go straight to moksha. It is possible for him to become ekavtari (just one life more before moksha). Some can become beyavtari (two lives before moksha) and some can become tranavtari (three lives before moksha), and if someone is 'greedy' (in wanting to enjoy the worldly life), he will complete fifteen lives before going to moksha. He will say, 'I will not be coming back, so let me do all the atikraman I can!'
My business partner was such that I used to ask him, 'Are you going to complete the full fifteen lives?" and he in turn would ask me, 'Is that what you think?' I told him, 'Yes. You are not coming back so why don't you complete your greed of fifteen lives right here?' However, there will not be more than fifteen lives.
If one is too greedy there will not be more than fifteen lifetimes, will there? He has now come inside the limit. Therefore, if one has desire for worldly happiness and he wants to enjoy the worldly life for another five-six thousand more lifetimes, then
