________________ At the sixth step, external conduct is not accounted; At seventh sobriety manifests and eight is one of 'never-before"! When sexuality-tuber and attachment with woman is gone; One crosses the ninth and thus to the tenth he goes! When parmanu of anger-pride-deceit-greed do not exist at all; There's total void of these kashays; one achieves the state of God! In discharge karma, even one parmanu of kashay isn't seen; Dada has seen Absolute Self, experience-state one achieves! Preaching while kashays are there, one goes to hell, alas! Big difference in punishment if a lawyer commits a crime! An ignorant person should not go on stage and preach; 'I am learning'; others listen to the words and learn! After becoming pure Soul he knows "vyavasthit' as the doer; Instant pratikraman is done, Self-realized is only the Knower! No one's fault is seen and freedom from all attachments prevails; While all worldly acts are done, this is the way of Akram Vignan! Where there is absence of anger, it is Lord Mahavir's forgiveness!! Not a thing to be given, is the valiant person's natural forgiveness! Where one is in Knower-Seer state, kashays are totally absent; Mistake in Knower-Seer state, rule of kashays will be in front! Go on doing pratikraman, sticky karma will be lighter, Result of pouring lead in the ears, Mahavir had to suffer! Wherever violence was done, mosquitoes or bedbugs were killed; Place their Souls before you and repent, then you will be freed!! Always keep the inner intent to save all living beings; They may be saved or not, you will be saved from the risks! Spray chemicals in the farm or cut the grass or tender shoots; Repent for doing this even if you have to do it again! Pray to God everyday heartily for about ten minutes; From whence befall upon me; business involving violence! 27 If intent is for total non-violence, karma's account won't bind; Pratikraman frees from revenge, violence, attachment-abhorrence! Freedom from all kinds of enmity is attained with pratikraman; The other person may free you or not, now 'he is' responsible! Do pratikraman for old faults and those faults are then disposed off; When there's no new karma drawn, where's the question of the bond? Past is gone forever and your future is in "Vyavasthit's' hands; Remain in present all the time and hold on to "Gnani's' talks! What do you do if fireworks blast off? Let the big ones go off; Do pratikraman for bomb-like attacks; their impact will fizzle off! If atikraman gets started while you do pratikraman; Wash it patiently; you'll never run out of this 'soap'! It is improper to form even a single wrong thought about the enemy; He is under the realm of unfolding karma; and one who is alert will be free! Lord Parshvanath had to pay off enmity's debt over ten life times; Enmity is disposed with equanimity with awareness of Akram Vignan! Pure Soul has manifested, now, do Self-effort valiance; Uproot spiritual blockades and opinions, and do their pratikraman! Relative self forms opinions; direct light of the Self uproots them; Call the opinions as incorrect and do divisions to uproot them! Opinions are effective and cause others to have dislike for you; That inevitably gives result by keeping you away from the Self! Getting what you like or dislike depends on credit or debit karma; See Self in the evidentiary nimits; pudgal is alien, under the realm of the non-Self! Pratikraman frees from opinions, there's no approval in action; Circumstances made him a thief; in your heart hold no accusation! Freedom from opinions, is freedom from the root of faults; Your previous protection of faults is why they had carried on! 28
