Pratikraman
scripture writers have not shown a solution for that. There is a solution for everything, but there is no solution for covetousness and intense greed (lalach). There is a solution for greed (lobh). When a greedy person incurs a loss, his greediness will go away very quickly.
Questioner: Will covetousness and intense greed (lalach) to enjoy that which is not rightful go away if one sits in the Gnan Vidhi again?
Dadashri: No, it will not. How can it go away by sitting in the Gnan Vidhi? It can be achieved if he decides that he wants to remain constantly in the Agnas and tries to abide by them, and does pratikraman if he does not. Even Now, Be Aware! Beware!! Beware!!!
Questioner: Dada, you have said that seventy percent of the human beings here will take birth in the animal kingdom in the next life. This bothers me. Is there any hope for us?
Dadashri: No, no, there is no hope, but if you become alert and aware...
Questioner: I am talking about those who have attained Self-realization (mahatmas).
Dadashri: Nothing in this world can touch a mahatma if he is following my Agnas.
Questioner: We will be firm and resolute from now on, but please do take care of us.
Dadashri: Yes, that is secured. 'We will take good care of you.
In this peculiar time era, I am cautiously saying to follow seventy percent of the Agnas so that people will not feel bad. People will get scared, that is why. This percentage is even higher, because those with higher intellect (buddhi) have taken
advantage of those with lesser intellect. The consequence of that is a life in hell. Not animal life form but a life in hell. Now tell me, what have people left alone? That is why I warn people and tell them to be very alert and aware and ask for forgiveness, because through pratikraman, there is still a way out.
If you were to write a letter to a relative of yours when you are in an angry mood, and you even curse him in the letter over and over again, your letter will offend him. But if, in the closing, you write a footnote with an apology and explain your angry frame of mind, because you had a quarrel with your wife, would he not be considerate and forgiving even though he has read the curses and insults from you? Likewise, all mistakes committed in life so far are erased, if pratikraman is done before leaving this body. You should ask for forgiveness from whomever you consider as your God. If not, you can come to me for forgiveness and I will help arrange for you to be free.
A very bleak and terrible time is yet to come, and still Chandulal' behaves recklessly. Your life carries a tremendous liability with it. I even hesitate when I say that seventy percent of the human race is doomed! This is the final assurance I give you in these terrible times. I am putting the weapon of pratikraman into your hands. With pratikraman, you stand a chance of being saved. And if you do it according to my Agnas, your salvation will come sooner. You will have to suffer the results of your mistakes, but not many.
Sooner or later, you will have to understand, won't you? You will have to understand it completely, will you not? You will have to turn towards moksha, will you not?
(320) How the Gnani Molds and Purifies the Prakruti
If someone tells you that you have no sense and insults you in public, and your spontaneous reaction is to want to bless him, you should know that you are separate form the world of the non-Self complex. At such a time of public insult, You are
