Pratikraman
What is sarvavirati? It is where You do not see any mistake in anyone. Even when someone is insulting you. You do not see mistakes in him. That is saravirati. There is no higher sarvavirati than this.
(268)
When you no longer see mistakes in anyone, know that you have attained the state of stillness, the state of the Self, even amidst the din of the worldly life. This state in Akram Vignan is very different. Even while enjoying life's pleasures, one sees the world as flawless.
Akram Vignan's sarvavirati state is that in which one does not see the slightest mistake in anyone. That is the state of sarvavirati; just know this much. Thereafter, I have no problems with whether or not one wears cologne and fragrances, as long as he sees no mistakes in others. Even if he gets bitten by a snake, he will not see any mistake of the snake. Such is our science.
In the Absence of the 'Doer,' Karmas Get Erased
So when anger arises, he says, 'Dear Dada Bhagwan! You have said 'no' but this occurred and, therefore, I ask for your forgiveness.' And so that mistake gets erased.
Questioner: 'This should not be so.' Dadashri: Yes. Questioner: It should happen immediately?
Dadashri: Yes, that is why it gets erased. How are they erased? Through pratikraman. All the karmas get erased. Because the doer is no longer there, they get completely erased. When the doer is absent, only the effects of past karma are suffered. People who do not have the knowledge of the Self have to suffer the effect in the presence of the 'doer' (ego). Their karmas may weaken a little if they do pratikraman, but they are not erased completely. Their causes will not refrain from bringing about new karma effects, whereas for You, that karma is destroyed when you say, 'Dear Dada Bhagwan, this should not be so. Sarvavirati Gunasthanak: The Sixth
Gunasthanak What more remains for the one who has shoot-on-sight' pratikraman in his hands? What is left when abhorrence (dwesh) goes away? Two of the four kashays have been eradicated. Eradicated, meaning what? Anger is gone but the subatomic particles (parmanus) of anger remain to discharge. Therefore, one will become angry but he will not like it at all and therefore, dwesh is completely gone. But some fraction of deceit and greed still remain. One will become vitarag when they too go away completely. They will go away in the discharging conduct deluding karma' (charitra mohaniya). Everything will become separate when you divide it up.
Questioner: Thereafter, in that state in the path of Akram, there is no need for pratikraman, is there?
Dadashri: Then there is no need for pratikraman. But do not assume that you do not see any mistakes; instead do pratikraman. What are you going to lose by doing that? In trying to find something new like that, you may take it in the wrong direction.
The one who has become free from abhorrence (vitadwesh) will be liberated in one more lifetime (ekaviari). If elements of abhorrence remain, then it may take a person three or four more lives to attain moksha.
No Kashay for the One Who Sees'
Mistakes will be erased if one does pratikraman given by the Gnani Purush. Otherwise, the mistakes will not leave One binds merit karma (punya) for doing pratikraman and this
