Pratikraman
One will do pratikraman at night and will clear out his books without fail. And no one will be seen at fault (doshit) in this world. They will all be seen as faultless (nirdosh).
tell that these mistakes are occurring because they are not gross (sthool).
Questioner: Can you see our mistakes too?
Dadashri: 'We can see; 'we' can see all of them but 'our vision is not directed towards the mistakes. 'We will immediately know about the mistakes of all of you, but our vision is directed exclusively towards your pure Soul (Shuddhatma). It is never focused on the unfolding effects of your karma (udayakarma). 'We' are aware of everyone's mistakes but they have no effect on 'us.' And that is why Kavi has written:
*A mother never sees mistakes; Dada too does not see mistakes in anyone.'
'We know that such weaknesses will be there for sure. And that is why 'we' have sahaj kshama - natural and instantaneous forgiveness. And that is why we never have to scold anyone. If 'we' feel that someone is making a grave mistake, then 'we' will call for him and say a few words to him. 'We will only do so if 'we' feel that he is going to go astray from the satsang or slip from the satsang. 'We know that if he does not wake up today, he will tomorrow because this is the path of awareness (jagruti). There is constant alertness in this path.
No Laziness in the Path of Akram Questioner: Who gives support to laziness (pramaad)?
Dadashri: That is talk of the Kramic path. There is no pramaad (spiritual sloth or laziness) in the path of Akram. Pramaad (idleness) means that if there is ego, then there is mada (pride); there will be pramaad (spiritual laziness). There is no such thing as that in the Akram path. This path is a completely different path. This path is such that not even a day will go by without one cleaning his books of karmic accounts.
All the mistakes are one's own. Hence the whole world is nirdosh-flawless. No one is at fault. One's mistakes are the cause of everything in this world. Therefore, wash off all the mistakes. What are 'we' saying? 'We' are telling you to do pratikraman. This world has arisen from seeing mistakes of others, and by seeing your own mistakes. You will attain moksha. No one can see' his own mistakes in this world, not even the monks and the religious masters (the acharyas and sadhus). It is because of the power of this Gnan, the power of the Akram Vignan, that one can see his own mistakes. Otherwise, one would not be able to see' even one mistake, and having done atikraman, one would not be able to do pratikraman. How wonderful a science this is! It gives constant samadhi (inner blissful state of being the Self) even while fighting. Fighting, when it occurs, is the effect of a cause from the past life. Yes, it is due to the stock of karma from the past life, but this science gives constant samadhi! Spontaneous and Natural Forgiveness of the
Gnani Whether one does something positive or negative, it is dependant upon vyavasthit.
Questioner: But what if one has a habit of seeing the negative from time immemorial?
(478) Dadashri: Yes, but You have to maintain upayog (focused, awakened awareness) and clear it off with pratikraman.
Questioner: If one is hurt from an insult, how can it be improved - how can he do pratikraman?
Dadashri: Pratikraman for someone insulting you and
