Pratikraman
or not, is not under your control. Why don't You remain in My Agnas? That way most of Your work will be done and if it remains pending, it is in the control of nature.
All 'we' look at is your decision of, 'I want to settle with equanimity.' Decide at least that much. Then 'we are not concerned whether that occurs or not. How long can we sit here and watch the drama? When will it all come to an end? We have to move on. There may be times when it may not be settled with equanimity. If the bonfire does not light, we will light it later. Why sweat trying to light it? We tried everything and if it does not light, just move on. Otherwise, when will it all come to an end?
(358) This Gnan has been given to sansaris (married people; people living a worldly life). I have not asked them to renounce anything, but I have told them to settle their files with equanimity and to do pratikraman. I have shown them these two solutions. There is no one to mess with the state You are in when You 'do' these two. Without these two solutions, You would not be able to stand on the shore of the Self. There is danger on the shore. That which is within File One is Only To Be
'Seen' Questioner: I may be able to settle all the other files with equanimity, but please explain in detail how to settle file number one with equanimity. I feel that all this meddling is of file number one.
Dadashri: The initial interference (dakho), 'I am Chandulal,' leaves only by seeing'. Whether it (file) is straightforward or awkward, You don't have much to do with it. All of it will go away by simply seeing it. If another 'file' makes a claim against you, then you have to do pratikraman. Whereas, here with file number one, there is no one to file anything against you, is there? So, because there is no one to claim anything, it will go away by seeing' it. If you are having
bad thoughts, even if they are crooked: if it spoils your intellect, You are to simply see all that. Whatever 'work' the mind and the intellect are doing, there is a problem; You have to keep 'seeing that
This is the most straightforward path to moksha, the easiest moksha!
Questioner: Does "continue seeing' mean that I should agree with what it shows?
Dadashri: The one who sees' is never in any kind of agreement with it. The Seer' who is continuously seeing' cannot be one with what is being seen'. Does a man get burned by watching a bonfire?
Questioner: No, he does not.
Dadashri: Even if there is a huge bonfire, the eyes see ... but what does it matter to the eyes?
Questioner: But, Dada, the interference (dakho) occurs and this hurts someone; do I not have to do pratikraman for
it?
Dadashri: You have to do pratikraman for that. Why did you do atikraman? You should not do anything that hurts others.
Questioner: My daughter does pratikraman every day, and yet her internal state does not improve.
Dadashri: It is because of a huge karmic stock filled in the past life. Pratikraman is itself the real inner effort (purusharth).
Questioner: Dada, are we not taking protection by blaming the huge karmic stock?
Dadashri: No, no. There is no protection in this at all. The whole world does not do pratikraman. They push others
