They can do tragas that will take the wind out of you and drain you emotionally. But being a Gnani, Gnan helps 'us' realize that a person is doing tragu. Even when I did not have Gnan, I could assess a person from every angle and immediately tell why he is doing it and what his intent was behind doing the tragu. I would tell him right away 'Have a seat. We are having some tea right now.' By that time his mind would calm down and even he would get tense.
Tragu became a heavy liability for a lady
There was a woman at my friend's home. She was either his relative or his elder sister. One day she did employed heavy deception kapat inorder to bully my friend. One day when someone was visiting him, she became hysterical and started striking herself, this scared my friend and the other man. My friend told me what had happened when he met me. I told him, 'I will come to your home next time this happens.' Then one day I went there and she performed the same show-(taihpo-open exposition of tragu)! She did a tragu! She would jump and my friend would get scared. So I said to that lady, 'Do you enjoy all this? You jump very well. Why don't you jump some more? We enjoy it very much.' I said something like this and she started cursing at me, 'Why did you come to our house?"
Therefore, 'we' know such deceitful acts and 'we' have keys to deal with them. Very few people do tragu; about two percent of men do tragu and in women it is about ten percent. Tragu is more prevalent in women.
Did you get the meaning of tragu? Only people in the old days knew how to do them. I feel the children of today do not know how to do them. How would they know? Their overall makeup is not strong enough; they are weaklings. Those who do tragas have very aggressive constitution. Young people today get nervous at the slightest scare.
Ingrained in the prakruti
Questioner: Does the one doing a tragu know that I am doing this tragu? ingrained
Dadashri: Definitely! Tragu itself means to do according to one's wishes. But it has become an ingrained part of one's prakruti and therefore the owner is not able to discern whether his action is beneficial to him or
