NOTE ABOUT THIS TRANSLATION
Ambalal M. Patel, Gnani Purush, also commonly known as Dadashri or Dada, always used to say that it is not possible to exactly translate his satsang about the Science of Self-Realization and the art of worldly interaction into English. Some of the depth of meaning would be lost. He stressed the importance of learning Gujarati to precisely understand all his teachings.
Dadashri did however grant his blessings to convey his teachings to the world through translations in English and other languages.
This is a humble attempt to present to the world the essence of the teachings of Dadashri, the Gnani Purush. A lot of care has been taken to preserve the tone and message of the satsang. This is not a literal translation of his words. Many people have worked diligently for this work and we thank them all.
This is an elementary introduction to the vast treasure of his teachings. Please note that any errors encountered in the translation are entirely those of the translators.

(11) Freedom Through Apology & Repentace (Pratikraman): Pratikraman has such an impact that if you do pratikraman towards someone whether person is present or not, for one hour, it will bring about profound changes within that person. Pratikraman is the greatest weapon for peace and bliss.
(12) The Science of Karma: The intention of giving happiness to others binds good karma and the intention of hurting others, will bind bad karmas. It is only through inner intent and not through action that karmas are bound. The external acts are all effects.
