Pratikraman
(234)
sentence from the middle, then we would not be able to give a proper meaning to it.
Questioner: No, no, in Aptavani Two, page number 109 (in Gujarati version: English page 127), it is written that repentance in raudradhyan results in artadhyan and exact pratikraman in raudradhyan leads to dharmadhyan.
Dadashri: From the whole sentence that has been spoken, all you have to do is make sure there is no meddling from others. Tell me if there is any meddling from others (not of Akram Vignan). Another thing is, do not try to do a comparative analysis. Whether it means this or that depends on circumstances. Do you understand that?
Yathartha ("as it should be') means that the Gnani Purush can say the sentence exactly as it should be; no one else can do that.
Questioner: Please explain this yathartha 'as it should be') to me.
Dadashri: Yathartha means that it should be exactly as it is. Generally, a person would not understand it that way, would he? Some spiritually elevated people may understand it. It is possible for you to do exact pratikraman if you understand
just like cash money.
But it is a very big accomplishment to be able to do this exact (yathartha) pratikraman. Otherwise, that other pratikraman is a different thing.
Questioner: Dada, once it got printed in a book, it all went into a common language.
Dadashri: Yes. But it reaches the one who is true and sincere, does it not? Who would understand it exactly?
Questioner: I thought about it and came to the conclusion that exact (yathartha) pratikraman is one in which there is no doership.
Dadashri: Yes, there is absolutely no doership after attaining Gnan, but exact (yathartha) means that it should be done exactly as it is.
Questioner: Gnanis do not have to do any pratikraman, do they?
Dadashri: These Akram Vignanis (those who have Selfrealization via Akram Gnan Vidhi) do have to do them.
Questioner: No, but it is the exact (yathartha) pratikraman, is it not?
Dadashri: Exact pratikramans are done by those who live with us. There are some mahatmas (like Niruben) who can do the exact pratikraman. Others can do that too. You too can do it like them. There is no problem if you do not understand it exactly, but I do know that you are capable of doing them exactly (yathartha). The word "yathartha' (exact) is itself a very heavy word. It means 'as it should be. Dharmadhyan in Relative, Shukladhyan in Real
Let me tell you what this Science of ours says. Right now
Questioner: Up until now, I understood it this way: that if I think about doing something wrong to another person, I block it and that, to me, is dharmadhyan. "This person hurt me,' so I will immediately react to that by thinking I want to do this or that to him. But then I feel that that is not my task. I used to believe this to be dharmadhyan.
Dadashri: Yes. That is considered dharmadhyan. It is dharmadhyan because it stops artadhyan and raudradhyan from taking place. That is cash dharmadhyan, instantly available,
