________________ Aptavani-2 157 stuck at 356 , the bliss 'we' enjoy is perfect. Never before has there been a time like the current one. A time span of 2500 years after Lord Mahavir is coming to an end; a time like the time only three and half years post Lord Mahavir's departure is now here. The current era of this time cycle may be that of Kaliyug but the best time has now come. In this time, anything that is not condemned (loknindya) by people is considered praiseworthy according to the Lord. If it is such a wonderful time, then should you not take advantage of it? Should you not take advantage of such a wonderful time? 'We are giving 'cash' (instant) moksha in this era of the current time cycle. You will experience moksha (freedom) right here, in this life. 'We are the bestower of moksha: 'We' are licensed to give' moksha. 'We are the instrument (nimit) for the salvation of the world. 'We are not the doer: 'We are never a doer of anything because if 'we' become the doer of any action, 'we' have to suffer the consequences of that doership. 'We'remain simply as a nimit. Everyone may not attain the knowledge of the Self, but it is possible for one to attain complete dharmadhyan in this era. Only a few very highly fortunate people will attain moksha through this Akram path, but to others 'we' can give the highest dharmadhyan. Raudradhyan and artadhyan is adharmadhyan (absence of dharmadhyan). Dharmadhyan is dharmadhyan and shukladhyan is atmadhyan (dhyan of the Self). When artadhyan and raudradhyan stop, then one is in dharmadhyan. Nijdosha : Faults of the self If you hurt someone, even in the slightest degree, recognize that you are at fault. You can know that you are at fault if your interactions with others result in internal unrest. If the other person suffers, it is obvious that he is at fault, but because you became instrumental (nimit) in the process, because you reprimanded him, you too are at fault. Why does Dada not experience any suffering? It is because he has no mistakes left in him. If someone is affected in the slightest by your mistake and that interaction creates a debit in your (karmic) account, you should immediately credit it through pratikraman. The inner enemies of anger, pride, illusion and greed (kashays) within will not refrain from creating a debit, which is why you should make a credit against it. You will create a debit with your own mistakes, but you should immediately do pratikraman. When your atikraman (aggression through kashays) affects someone, you should erase it immediately and not leave anything pending You should do alochana, pratikraman and pratyakhyan even if someone hurts you. Continue to ask for forgiveness, with Dada as your witness, for any atikraman done through the mind, body and speech. You should maintain awareness every step of the way to not hurt others and to do pratikraman if it happens. Your kashays of anger, pride, illusion and greed is the kind of stock that will cause you to make mistakes and put you into a karmic debt, but in their opposition, you should immediately do pratikraman. You cannot afford to keep that business pending This is really a cash business. Questioner : The mistakes that occur to day, are they not from the past life? * * * *
