Pratikraman
Shuddhatma (the Self) and 'Chandulal' (the non-Self, prakruti) are separate. To keep 'seeing' prakruti is purusharth (real spiritual effort). When one does purusharth after becoming a Purush (the Self), it is considered purusharth towards moksha.
Whatever one has done, and no matter how horrible its effects, if he remains in the Gnan of vyavasthit, then he does not need to do pratikraman.
rather frequently, does he not?
Questioner: It occurs sometimes. Dadashri: What occurs if one dies 'sometimes'?
Questioner: Is dakho (interference; becoming 'Chandulal') under the control of vyavasthit?
Dadashri: Whatever has occurred' is under the control of vyavasthit, but not what is going to occur.' Do not worry about what has already happened. Do pratikraman for the wrongdoing and tell the one who did it, 'Do prarikraman.' If 'Chandulal' did it, then tell 'Chandulal' to do prarikraman.
Questioner: If I leave it to vyavasthit, then what purusharth (effort of the enlightened one) do I have to make?
Dadashri: The purusharth You have to do is to continuously see what 'Chandulal' is doing the whole day. That is your purusharth!
(364) As you continue to see You can say, 'Chandulal, why are you being so strict with your son? Do pratikraman because you have done atikraman. You can interject this way while You are seeing' what he does.
Questioner: Pratikraman occurs at this time.
Dadashri: That is what I am saying, that pratikraman occurs automatically at the same time. Therefore, You just have to see. You have to continue 'seeing that pratikraman is occurring.
Keep 'Seeing' What 'Occurs' We (Self-realized) do not have bhaavkarma (charging karma). We have become free of bhaavkarma. We are Shuddhatma (pure Soul) who is free of bhaavkarma (charging; causal karma), dravyakarma (subtle discharging karma) and nokarma (gross discharging karma). Therefore, You, the
What is the other meaning of vyavasthit? It means to continue to see what "Chandulal' is doing. If 'Chandulal' does a million dollar damage to someone, continue 'seeing that too. You should not become one in it (tanmayakar). "Why did you do that? Do pratikraman for that.' Actually, not everyone understands this. Vyavasthit means that whatever it is, it is verily correct. But You are free if you continue to see it. It Affects the Other Person the Moment You
Do Pratikraman
Questioner: I become engrossed (tanmayakar, becoming *Chandulal') in circumstances, so there is no opportunity for doing pratikraman there.
Dadashri: The opportunity of doing pratikraman arises when the other person gets hurt, You have to say, 'Chandulal, db pratikraman. He will bind vengeance. It seems that atikraman has occurred with him, his face becomes stern when he looks at you, so do pratikraman.' So he will ask, 'Should I do one pratikraman?' You should tell him, 'No, do twentyfive to fifty so that you see a smile on his face. His face will be much better looking the next day, when you do pratikraman in this manner. Try it once. Have you experienced that before?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Is that so? So after tasting such experience, have you remained that way?
