Pratikraman
any karma. So even if they were physically attacking each other, I would let them fight. I would tell them, 'Go ahead hit to your hearts' content!' That is what I used to say, 'Hit properly! They would hit only if they had the baggage within. How were they going to hit if they did not have the baggage within?
Therefore, these problems would continue the whole day long in the bus, so the bus driver tells me, Dada, you are like God... how did you come to have love for such people?' I told him, "These people are of the highest quality. They will improve one day!
the Agnas, do pratikraman. To forget is human, but do pratikraman nevertheless. Do pratikraman in this way: 'Dada, I forgot to remain in Your Agnas for the last two hours. I want to follow Your Agnas without fail. Please forgive me.' Then everything of the past will be forgiven. You will get full 100 out of 100. Therefore, no liability remains. The one who does not have the desire to repeat his mistakes is forgiven. 'We have a license to grant forgiveness.
Your work will be done if you remain within our Agnas. But what will occur if you churn things over and over again and make them "sticky?
Then, in the evening, they would all get together in the bus and do offering prayer with sacred light (do arati) of Dada Bhagwan. They would fight and hit each other, but they would all do the arati.

So then the driver would say, 'I have never seen anything like this before in this world. They would do pratikraman right away. Every day they would do pratikraman at least once a day. They were to do pratikraman only for the fighting they did and that, too, by bowing down at each other's feet. Now is there any problem?
'We give you thoughts in the form of pratikraman. If you do pratikraman as per Agna, then you will be blessed in no time. You will have to suffer the demerit karma -sins, but not so many.
(482) Pratikraman for Not Being in the Agnas
You have to do pratikraman if you are not able to remain within the Agnas. Leave home every day with the decision that you want to remain within the Agnas and then immediately do pratikraman if you cannot. Everything will be settled within six to twelve months. Then it will be settled forever.
Everyone sitting in a train or a bus is free, is he not? What do they care? They will look here and there and here, and have all kinds of thoughts. One must not miss being in pure awakened awareness as the Self (in shuddha upayog) in such situations. Why do you not miss your awareness (upayog) when you are counting money? You do not even take your eyes away from it. If you were counting thousand rupee notes, you would not take your eyes off them, whereas this Self that you have attained is priceless! People keep counting even ten cent coins! And that too without making a single mistake!
You (the Self) do not have to do anything. All You have to 'do' is decide that you want to remain in Dada's Agnas. Then do not worry if you cannot. For your mother-in-law, who scolds you, you have to simply make a firm decision (nischay), before you even see her that you want to remain in Dada's Agnas and deal with her with equanimity, without fail! Then You are not responsible if you are not able to do so.
