Pratikraman
he should not meet Dada. And if he does meet Dada, he should not take Gnan. Once you meet Him and take Gnan, you will not be able to get out of it, even if you so desire. You will have to go to moksha. One would never find such a fool who does not want moksha, once he understands all this. However, I have to forewarn you. Then if you say, "Please free me from these fifteen lives,' you will not be able to be free, because this is the stamp (visa guarantee) of the Gnani. No one can erase it and no one can cancel it.
Gnani means someone with a license.' He has the license of the entire world. The celestial beings (devlokas) come to listen to this science. This satsang is considered a gathering of paramhansa (the One who separates the Self from the nonSelf) where there is no discussion other than that of the Soul and the Supreme Soul. There are no worldly discussions here and it (gathering) is with dharmadhyan. Ours is Akram (step-less), is it not? Mahatmas Do Not Have Artadhyan or
Raudradhyan Artadhyan and raudradhyan are causes for a birth in the lower life (tiryanch) forms.
Questioner: I do not want to do artadhyan and raudradhyan at all and yet they occur.
Dadashri: What I am saying is that I do not have a problem if they occur. Why don't you do pratikraman for it? 'We have never raised any objection as to. "Why did you do it?' Just do pratikraman. 'We do not wish to get rid of anyone. "We do not have any negativity here; there is only positivity here. "We are not here to ruin anyone. Tell them (artadhyan and raudradhyan) they can stay and that you will do pratikraman. And so they will leave on their own.
Our Gnan is such that artadhyan and raudradhyan do
not occur; it does not allow artadhyan and raudradhyan to occur. And whatever artadhyan and raudradhyan you see is not Your dhyan; it is simply a suffocation of sorts. Truly they can never occur! There is no artadhyan or raudradhyan if there is Atmagnan. And where there is a presence of artadhyan and raudradhyan, there is no Armagnan there. There can be no contradiction in this matter.
There is dharmadhyan in the physical self and shukladhyan in the Self. But when that suffocation comes, you think that artadhyan and raudradhyan are occurring. And this is why You have to say, "Why did you do atikraman? So now do pratikraman!
(228) There can never be artadhyan and raudradhyan where there is Armagnan. With artadhyan and raudradhyan one will never be able to attain the Self. Now whatever artadhyan and raudradhyan there seems to be is merely suffocation. Who can have artadhyan and raudradhyan? The answer is, it occurs to the living ego, 'I am Chandulal.' I have taken that living ego away, leaving behind only the lifeless ego (discharging ego). That discharging ego does not experience any artadhyan or raudradhyan. That which is dead cannot move nor do anything anew.
Therefore, there is nothing complicated, just understand it. There is nothing to it if you understand what I am saying.
The Gnan I have given to you is such that it keeps working on its own. Understand it completely in detail. And if you still do not understand it, then do pratikraman repeatedly. That is why those who do not understand it have been asked to do pratikraman. Nothing at all happens to the one who understands Akram Vignan. Whatever occurs, it is happening only to the external self (the non-Self), and one feels in the mind that it is happening to him. Truly, it is all happening to the external part (the non-Self).
