Pratikraman
Ours is the path of Akram, a path where karmas have not been dissipated, and thus weakness will not stop from occurring. Now, if just a mental weakness (kashay) arises, then one should do pratikraman for just that kashay in the mind. He does not have to do a lengthy pratikraman. And when pratikraman is done, it gets cleansed. But the karmic stock that has been stored is bound to come out, is it not? Weakness arises but he is not considered guilty if he does pratikraman through his mind, speech and body, because by doing pratikraman, he is within Dada's Agna. How is one to find that much energy? Atikraman does occur, but you should do pratikraman for it. Nevertheless, our Gnan is such that, no matter what the circumstances, one can be saved from them. That is called Gnan. In this Vitarag path of ours, kraman (neutral activities) occur as long as one is happy, but when things go to the contrary, we have to do pratikraman and wash it off.
Missed Agnas? Do Pratikraman
The way to handle this is to firmly resolve, 'I want to stay in Dada's Agnas,' and then begin your day. Then do pratikraman for the times you have not been able to be in the Agnas. Keep everyone happy at home by settling all conflicts with them - with equanimity. In spite of doing this, if they are still unhappy with you, then understand that it is because of your past accounts and simply be a 'Seer' of everything. You have made this decision only today, so win them over with love. You will notice that everything will start to settle down. Still, you should only believe so when those at home certify that you are free from faults. Ultimately, they are all on your side. (362) 'You' Are the Judge and 'Chandulal' is the
Accused Whatever pudgal (non-Self complex) is coming out, whether it is fighting with someone or hitting someone, if You continue to see it, then You are not liable for it. Someone may
ask you why you still fight after attaining Gnan. So what should you tell him? With whatever intensity of intent (bhaav) the karmic bondage occurred, it is with that same intent it will discharge. Continue to see that discharge. But there should be one thing during the discharge and that is that no atikraman should occur in the process. Do pratikraman if atikraman occurs. Pratikraman is to be done by 'Chandulal' and not You. A judge does not have to do anything; he has to make the accused do it. The one who eats is the one who is guilty, and thus he has to go to the toilet. The judge simply gives judgments. He will never say, "The crime of the accused is my crime.' What kind of mistake is it if our mahatmas say that? This is very subtle talk.
The karmic stock (likened to garbage) has been filled in the past life and it is precisely that which is discharging. One becomes lighter because no new stock is being filled. Day by day, his burden will feel lighter and then it will not be there anymore.
When Will the Tank' Empty?
Questioner: Is moksha attained through pratikraman? Is it necessary to do pratikraman now to attain moksha?
Dadashri: Pratikraman is necessary only if you do atikraman. Otherwise, there is no need to do pratikraman. If it is one's nature to do atikraman, then he should do pratikraman. Do you understand? And that too, how long does that nature remain? No matter how mischievous a person is, that "tank will empty in eleven to fourteen years. After that it is all empty. How long will a full tank last? A tank may be full now. but how long will it last when it is not being replenished? Nevertheless, it is better to do pratikraman when atikraman occurs.
Is Interference Vyavasthit? Interference (dakho) as 'I am Chandulal' occurs for you
