occur anymore, can they?
Questioner: No, they do not happen anymore. They have stopped since the last ten days.
Dadashri: When will it occur again? Questioner: When I see mistakes in others?
if one tries to teach this to others, he will make mistakes. Instead, it is better to have our own simple, colloquial language that a person can understand right away. This is all baggage that was filled, which is coming out now.
Dadashri: Do pratikraman when he (Chandulal) sees mistakes. Artadhyan and raudradhyan do not occur now that You are not the doer. And if he (Chandulal) sees mistakes in someone, that is dravya (effect of past life karma); it is not bhaav (cause). It is considered artadhyan and raudradhyan when there is presence of bhaav. This is just the dravya - the effect. Therefore, he will end up saying things that were already filled within
Questioner: What happens is that often I talk negatively about someone who is not present; I call him names, I think he is worthless, and at the same time, I think I am something, I am right, I am never at fault, I have not made any mistake. So when such artadhyan and raudradhyan are occurring continuously, what should I do to maintain awareness so that I can remain separate from all that?
Questioner: Is it considered artadhyan or raudradhyan when he sees mistakes of others?
Dadashri: Yes. He (Chandulal) will see mistakes in others if that is the kind of baggage he has brought with him from his previous life. The Self is flawless and does not see mistake in others. He (Chandulal) should do pratikraman when he sees mistakes in others. That is all he has to do. Everything he does in this life is a discharge of the karmic baggage he has brought with him from his previous life.
Dadashri: That may happen. That is when you realize that awareness does not remain. So whatever occurs during the daytime, decide in the evening that you want to do pratikraman from nine to eleven.
Questioner: That is right; pratikraman is the solution.
Dadashri: Yes, do pratikraman at night for anyone you meet on the road, in your vicinity, etc.
Questioner: Whomever I meet.
The Lord has called it dravya (effect). He said that it is the baggage of past life karma (bharelo maal) within him that is discharging. When You say that baggage of past life karma is coming out the other person will immediately understand.
Dadashri: Whether you met him or not, just do pratikraman for all of them for an hour or two. You don't realize how much energy it will generate and You will also experience tremendous bliss!
Questioner: I understand it. So ultimately, in my free time I should do pratikraman.
(232) Dadashri: Remember them all and do pratikraman. Exactness of the Pratikraman Vidhi of Dadashri
Questioner: When we do pratikraman for artadhyan, what does that fall under?
In the scriptural language it is called dravya-parinam (effect-result). And the other, the cause of karma, they call bhaav-parinam (cause).
Now, how is a person to know all such subtleties? And
