Arta-raudra meditation never happens in Akram Gnan;
Inside shukla, outside dharma; because ego is lifeless! Faults that happen now since their pratikraman wasn't done;
One can get freedom from them if proper pratikraman is done! Knowing the fault is dhammadhyan, meditation as the Self is shukladhyan; Inner Absolute', outer dharma - know it as state of one more life!
On Akram path, one can go as far as this State; If inner and outer are "Absolute', moksha happens in the same life! "Guests show up at late night'; on seeing them there is strife in mind; 'Why did the deadbeats show up now'-words promptly flash in mind!
Yet, to their face he says, 'Welcome, will you take some tea? The guests will ask for Khichdi, vegetables or for some curry!
Wife gets upset, husband asks, 'When are they leaving?
Wife says, 'How do I know? Your friends, your habits! Tradition states "Guest is God'; yet there is arta-raudra dhyan; For this, pratikraman is necessary, or else, he digs a mine of loss!
Self-realized person's intents don't change by doing pratikraman; He gets rid of faults forever by doing pratyakhyan and pratikraman!
The fault remains pending if pratikraman is not done; Increase one-two lives, or to Liberation if instantly done! If a person is openly angry, today from karma he is free;
If angry in his mind, he will bind karma for the next life! Do pratikraman for abhomence, because attack is committed: Attachment is discharge karma; Gnani explains this thoroughly!
However, if one isn't alert and Agna he didn't follow; Do pratikraman for attachment as well or he will fall! If there is inner link or violent intent, it is called kashay: If they are absent, it isn't kashay, there's only discharge!
Yet, if others get hurt from your discharge kashay; Doing pratikraman is proper according to Tirthankars!
Kashays may be heavy, they're relative's property after all;
Seer' is not burned there; Gnan gives him protection! Discharge faults are lifeless after Self-realization state; Their karma are not heavy, Gnani jokes about the faults!
Heartily pratikraman ends the faults in short effort;
Repeated pratikraman, by law, frees one from bondage! Wholesome pratikraman is acceptable when there're multiple faults; 'Dada, I am doing wholesome, please accept it as the total for all!
If no courage for face to face, ask forgiveness in the mind; Do face to face with a noble person, others will abuse it otherwise!
Before going to Liberation, exhaust the subtle body:
Do collective pratikraman and you will be free finally! It is called self-effort when one does pratikraman for faults:
State of valiance is being the Knower of the one who knows! Anger kashay that is bound for infinite lives is like a crack in a boulder,
Business of repeating lives continues if there's no pratikraman!
Anger that one didn't repent for is like a crack in the ground; It persists since pratikraman-pratyakhyan were not done for that!
Fifth step of spirituality is wholesome pratikraman-pratyakhyan; By doing them one arrives at the sixth which is called pratyakhyan!
Faults cause millions of veils; do as many pratikramans; Because collectively done in past, veils continue to hinder!
Pratyakhyani veils are like a line drawn in the sand; Burnt out kashays are like a line that is drawn in water! When karma of kashay unfolds and affects the self within: There is suffering of pain; they're called pratyakhyani kashays! When karma of kashay unfolds and do not affect the self;
Bliss prevails within; they're called ash-like kashays! At the fourth step is Self-realization; fifth is one of no-resolve;
Sixth is with resolve where file is thick in worldly life!
