Pratikraman
"Dear Shuddhatma Bhagwan, who is completely separate from the mind-speech and body of Chandubhai, and his bhaavkarma, dravyakarma and nokarma. Dear Shuddhatma Bhagwan of Chandubhai, I am asking for forgiveness for all errors committed towards Chandubhai. I am asking this in the presence of Dada Bhagwan. I will never repeat such faults again."
Do the pratikraman in this manner and you will notice a change on the other person's face. You do the pratikraman here, and the changes will be taking place over there within him.
My books became clean only after 'we' (file # 1 doing pratikraman under the guidance of the Self) did so much washing For countless lives we have done this and that is why finally I am free and liberated. I am showing you the way also, so free yourself quickly.
You should do pratikraman, so that you can become free from the liability of these faults. In the beginning after Gnan, people used to attack me and question my integrity, but later they got tired of doing this, because I never retaliated. If I had retaliated they would have continued to attack me. This world will not let anyone attain liberation, so you should be careful, and conduct yourself with awareness avoiding any conflicts.
At least try doing the pratikraman, and then witness the changes in the people in your household. There will be magical changes, magical effects.
(P343) As long as there is a tendency to look at faults in others, there will be no peace of mind. When you do pratikraman all the faults will be erased. You should do pratikraman for every file that has become sticky due to attachment and abhorrence. Keep the focused awareness and then proceed to do pratikraman to clear
everything. Files due to attachment definitely need pratikraman.
If you were sleeping on a nice comfortable mattress but there was grit in it, would it not bother you until you took it out? In the same manner, pratikraman is called for, when things bother you. Pratikraman needs to be done only where there is an internal signal of conflict. And whatever bothers the other person; he too will do the same! Everyone has different kinds of pratikraman.
(P.347) If you have done atikraman towards anyone, then you should do pratikraman all day in his name. When both parties do pratikraman, they can become free of the faults much quicker. If you do five thousand pratikramans or more and so does the other person, then things can be resolved faster. However, if the other person does not do any pratikraman, you will have to do ten thousand pratikramans in order to be free
Questioner: It bothers me if something like this remains pending
Dadashri: Do not carry around such a burden. Instead, sit down one day for an hour and do pratikraman collectively for all your faults. Towards whomever you did atikraman, sit down for one hour and wash off all the faults. Do not go about with a feeling of a weight of an unfinished task.
(P.348) Such knowledge about pratikraman has never before been disclosed to the world. The world has never read or heard of such knowledge before.
What happens when I make people sit and do pratikraman? One is made to recall the faults from childhood onwards, and wash them off with pratikraman, by seeing the pure Self of the person against whom the errors were committed. In doing such
