Pratikraman
there are only two types of unfolding discharge taking place - either a good intent (bhaav) or a bad intent (bhaav).
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Then look at that discharge and you will see your fault; the one whose fault it is will see his fault. He will see it as good, if it is good. But You have to see your own faults, and nothing else.
This spiritual effort (purusharth) will make a difference in your coming life. But that is not what 'we' are saying. What 'we' are saying is that you have become Shuddhatma (pure Soul) and you do not want a next life of any form. So what 'we' are saying is that this is an unfolding of karma (udaya), and you are settling (doing nikaal of it), 'knowing', it.
To know that a mistake has occurred is called dharmadhyan. And within that prevails shukladhyan. When there are both dharmadhyan and shukladhyan, then one becomes ekavtari (one more life before moksha). And when only shukladhyan is there, one attains moksha. (236)
Hence, when a mistake occurs, You should not touch it at all; do not consider it as Yours. You have studied the old scriptures and that is why you feel, 'What is this, how can it be, what is going on?' 'We' (the Gnani Purush) have in the Gnan Vidhi given the knowledge that both the good habits and the bad habits are part of the illusion of the non-Self. 'I am Shuddharma and I have become the Self.' From here on, whatever mistake is there, I can see it. These are now coming in my 'vision.'
recognize that they are wrong. It is dharmadhyan the moment you know that. Therefore, externally there is dharmadhyan and internally there is shukladhyan; this is a completely different path. It is a natural path.
Purusharth in Unfolding Karma
There is a knock at your door at eleven thirty at night. You call out to see who it is and the voice tells you that he is an acquaintance from your village and he has come with a group of ten to twelve people. What would you say to them this late in the night? Would you open the door or not?
Questioner: Yes, I would.
Dadashri: What would you tell them? Would you tell them to go away because it is so late?
Questioner: Of course not. How could I do that? Dadashri: Well then, what would you say? Questioner: I would invite them in.
Dadashri: You would invite them in. Because you have been brought up with good values, you would invite them into your home. You carry away your sleeping child to make room on the sofa for them. You do all this, but in your mind the thought arises, 'Why the heck do they have to come at such a time?
You can now see the mistakes. You will see all minute mistakes. You will see more and more mistakes as this vision of seeing the mistakes blossoms.
When this happens, it is raudradhyan; it is not artadhyan. Artadhyan means that one only suffers from within. But in this case, you start raudradhyan and blame your guests for the problem. This is spoiling your internal intent (bhaav) towards your guests. You are blaming them for visiting you so late at night.
On the outside, however, you continue your appearance of being cordial. After they are seated, you ask them if they
Now, if pratikraman does not occur, I will tell you that there is no problem. But keep 'seeing those mistakes and
