repayments have to be made in the next life) when you curse a person who is no longer living. This kalam is addressing this point exactly. That is why I am telling you not to commit such faults. Even if a person did evil things during his lifetime, we should not speak negatively about him.
Dadashri: Repeated invocation of these kalams result in divisions, which lead to dissolution of prakruti. If you do not do this, the sapling of the current prakruti will grow into a big tree. As you keep saying these kalams, a division is taking place. With your invocation, whatever multiplication of the prakruti had taken place, will be neutralized. Therefore, all facets of the non-self prakruti will divide and all facets of the Self will multiply. Keep saying these nine kalams day and night, whenever you have time. I leave you with a remedy and have explained everything to you. It is now up to you.
Even now we must not say anything negative about Raavan (opponent of Lord Rama in Ramayana) because he is still dehdhari (in physical form) living elsewhere, and when you talk about him, it will reach him. If you slander him, it does reach him.
If people are talking negatively about a dead relative of yours, you must not get involved. If you do become involved in it, you must repent and tell yourself not to do so again. There is a grave danger in talking about the dead. Our people never seem to leave the dead alone.

Dearest Dada Bhagwan! Give me the infinite inner strength not to, nor cause anyone to, nor encourage anyone to criticize, offend or insult any being: present or not present, living or dead.
Dadashri : Avarnavaad is to destroy someone's good reputation through slander. If you speak negatively about someone who is renowned and respectable, it is avarnavaad.
Questioner : Whenever we ask for forgiveness from those who have died, does our message reach them?
Committing slander in this life is the result of wrong opinions in previous life. These kalams prevent future life bondage. For example, if you are addicted to smoking, while smoking you should say, "give me strength not to smoke, cause others to smoke, nor encourage others to smoke." In this manner you will be able to free yourself. The nature of the body is to lead you astray. So you have to have these bhaavnas.
TOWARDS SALVATION OF THE WORLD
Questioner: Hae Dada Bhagwan! Mane jagat kalyan karvaanu nimit banvaani param shakti aapo, shakti aapo, shakti aapo.
Dearest Dada Bhagwan! Give me then infinite inner strength to become an instrument for the world in the path of Self-Realization.
Dadashri : It is not necessary for the message to reach them, but you incur a tremendous dosh (faults for which
