Pratikraman
that would place a grave liability on us. The liability is ours. So what do we do? If 'we' let it get out, then all seven of her mistakes would be exposed, and is that why she confided in *us'? Therefore, 'we' have taken on a great responsibility. A man who has a young daughter will come and tell me, 'Dada, I am worthy of being killed.' I ask him, "Hey, you! Why is that?" He would tell me he molested his daughter.
Questioner: What kind of karma does he bind because of this?
Dadashri: It is not just one man; so many such men have come to 'us.' He told his wife, "Now that she is ten, eleven years old, why don't you let me enjoy her!' The father would touch her and molest her and so her view changes and then she starts looking at other men. The girl then becomes tainted with abnormal sexuality. A father has to maintain strict discipline. He should not look at any other woman than his wife. Men are not aware of such things! That man was beaten up. His wife and everyone got together and beat him up: how dare he make a suggestion like that? So you now know about conduct in the dushamkaal - current time cycle where pain and misery is dominant.

women? What kind of nonsense is this? Things go on which have never been heard of before, things that would bring pain to the eyes and ears! People have gone astray and out of control! Enough, be aware, even now be warned! Each and Every Mistake with Innumerable
Layers Repentance and forgiveness (maafi) is the greatest weapon in this world. God does not forgive you. He does not have the right to forgive. The Gnani Purush will forgive everyone's mistakes. He is the agent of God. God in reality does not have a body; only those who have a body can forgive. So, even now, if you have made any mistakes, come and ask for forgiveness.
Dadashri: How many mistakes of yours are You able to see every day?
Questioner: I can see two hundred to three hundred.
Dadashri: For seven years, You have been seeing two hundred to three hundred, so those will go away. Then You will see new ones.
Or there may be many petals of that mistake. It may also be a new mistake; all these mistakes contain endless layers.
Questioner: If we continue making mistakes every day and we continue repenting in this way, when will they come to an end?
Dadashri: It will end for certain. All the mistakes will come to an end if you do it this way. I am showing you the path that I myself have traveled. Love Pratikraman Just Like You Love Your Wife
You ought to have the same familiarity with pratikraman as you do with your wife. Just as you cannot forget the wife, in the same manner you cannot forget to do pratikraman. All day
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Some boys had come to satsang, came to the pilgrimage (jatra) with married people. One twenty-five year old boy wrote confessing that his intentions towards a thirty-five year old married woman were sexual. He said he was doing pratikraman for it.
'You fool! Is that what you did? Hey, you! You did not have any shame or respect for the fifteen people around in the satsang?' All these kinds of things are to be repented and they need to be forgiven. This is the effect of this time cycle! How can they have such thoughts about fellow mahatmas, men and
