belongs to the non-Self and You have to know that it is wrong, and that it is harmful. You bind opinion through your own fault, your own mistake and your own viewpoint. What right do you have to form an opinion?
Questioner: If we form an opinion that we cannot erase it, do we bind karma?
Dadashri: If you have attained this Akram Vignan and you have the knowledge of separation between the Self and the non-Self, then You will not bind karma. And yes, if you do not do pratikraman for the opinion, it will continue to have an effect on the other person, and he will not have a good feeling about you. You will not bind karma if you live with a clear inner intent (bhaav; conscience) and with pratikraman, even its effect will disappear. Purusharth is to ‘divide’ by seven if it was ‘multiplied by seven.
Everything, from birth to death, is in the hands of ‘scientific circumstantial evidence' (vyavasthit) so what is the point in having opinions? Having attained the knowledge of the Self, and after attaining the Gnata-gneya connection (where you remain the Knower of all that is to be known), ridding yourself of the few remaining opinions, you pass 'with honors'!
You cannot see things as they are because of opinions, and you cannot experience the bliss of liberation, because opinion shrouds it. When you have no opinion left, you can become faultless (nirdosh). Once you attain the knowledge of the Self, You are considered free (mukta), even if you do have opinions, but you are not yet supremely free (maha-mukta). Your experience of infinite bliss is halted because of opinions.
The 'causes' that you had of the past life, come into effect in this life. But to give opinion about the ‘effect that “this is good' or 'this is bad' causes attachment and abhorrence (raag-dwesh). Causes are not bound by actions; they are bound by opinions.
