[21] Faults of Prakruti Will Depart This Way...
373
after Gnan, it will be on the right path. When you get upset and say something hurtful to someone, the inner one will say, 'No, no, this is wrong: you should not do that. Do pratikraman for having such a thought of getting upset and saying hurtful things." Before Gnan, you would be supporting the abusive words by thinking of giving him some more.
The nature of human beings is such that they become their prakruti.
For us mahatmas in Akram Vignan, when the prakruti does not improve, we tell him within, 'Hey, you! Let go. Do not concern yourself with improving the prakruti. Why don't you at least improve your inner self?" Thereafter, You are not responsible for what occurs on the outside. This is all a Science. If you understand this much, everything will be resolved. Do you understand what I am saying?
Questioner: Yes, I do.
Dadashri: What did you understand?
Questioner: I just have to 'see' and not become one with it, not become engrossed (tanmayakar) in it.
(354)
Dadashri: Not like that. Even if you become one with it, You should say, 'It should not be like this. This is all wrong.' The prakruti will do anything because it is irresponsible. But You become free of that responsibility when you say this. Now, is there any problem with that?
Questioner: There is no problem but when we get angry, we lose awareness.
Dadashri: Our Gnan is such that it will keep you in awareness. You will do pratikraman and everything else. Are You able to maintain awareness?
Questioner: Yes, Dada.

Pratikraman
That is Called Pratyakhyan
Questioner: If one does pratikraman heartily for the mistake, what if the decision (nischay) not to repeat it is weak? Dadashri: The firm resolution (nischay) is pratyakhyan.
It is best if one does nischay. If one does not resolve to never repeat the mistake and only does pratikraman, the first mistake gets erased; then it will come again and he will erase it again. We need all three: alochana, pratikraman and pratyakhyan. Pratyakhyan means 'I will not do it again,' and that is the best thing.
