Who Am I?
Who Am I?
PRAGNYA WILL ALERT YOU FROM WITHIN
pratikraman should be done. Pratikraman means, apologizing and asking for forgiveness from the other person: 'I have committed this fault. I understand that it is wrong and I am making a resolution not to repeat this mistake again.' Such a vow must be taken. If you commit the same fault again, then again, you have to repent and apologize and ask for forgiveness. You have to do it as soon as you realize your mistakes. In this way your faults will decrease and will eventually end.
Questioner: So how should we perform pratikraman towards an individual?
Dadashri: Recall the Shuddhatma, the One who is absolutely separate from the thoughts, speech, actions, bhaavkarma (charge karmas), dravyakarma (effect karma), nokarma (neutral karmas), of that person; the Shuddhatma that is separate from the name and all the associated attachments of that person. Remember the person's Pure Soul in this way. Then 'Chandulal' will need to recall his mistakes (aalochana), repent for the mistake (pratikraman), and ask for forgiveness and vow never to repeat it (pratyakhyan). 'You' the Shuddhatma, have to remain the Observer of how 'Chandulal' performs the pratikraman and with what degree of sincerity.
DEHADHYAS IS 'I AM THIS BODY'
Ordinarily, people in this world cannot relinquish the awareness of 'I am this body. They are not aware of the real Self. You however, have received this Gnan and are now without ego. 'I am Chandulal' is egoism and when the awareness of Shuddhatma is established, there is no attachment to anything connected with the body. Despite this, you may initially make mistakes and feel a sense of suffocation.
Because this Gnan is scientific, you will experience it increasingly, and it will automatically alert you from within. You will not have to do anything. The other traditional Kramic path's knowledge necessitates your a 'doer-ship'.
Questioner: Yes, I experience something within that alerts me.
Dadashri: We have now found this path and have crossed the first threshold into the realm of Shuddhatma. No one can turn us back from here. Who is it that warns you from within? It is Pragnya. Pragnya is the direct light of the Soul and it begins after this Gnan Vidhi.
Pragnya in the samkit state is like a partial phase. It is like the second day of the new moon. Here, for all those who have received Gnan, pragnya is fully expressed, like the full moon. The full force of pragnya keeps you constantly alert. Its role is to take you to the final liberation. King Bharat had to employ servants to warn him and keep him alert. His servants used to yell three times every fifteen minutes, "Be aware King Bharat Be aware King Bharat!" In your case it is the pragnya that warns you constantly from within. That is the experience of the Soul.
THE STEPS OF EXPERIENCE
Questioner: Is it necessary to do anything to further the experience of the Self?
Dadashri: Do you have the awareness of Shuddhatma all day long?
Questioner: Yes.
