Pratikraman
it. This is the final acceptance. After it has been accepted, you do the pratikraman on your own and maintain an inner intent that you do not want to repeat the mistake.
Different Types of Alochana
I asked her, 'Do you still have this enmity towards her?' She replied, 'No Dada, I want to be free from that enmity.' So I told her that I would help her free herself. I did not call for her husband. I explained everything to her in his absence. On the contrary, if we call the husbands, we create even more problems.
A person can become unconscious if he is hit in the head. Hey! One will become unconscious even if he drinks a couple of bottles of alcohol. Becoming unconscious is not a crime. So do not worry if that occurs to you. But if a mistake occurs, do alochana in Dada's presence and ask for forgiveness. That is when 'we' do a vidhi for him and we 'roast the seeds' of whatever mistakes he committed so they will not have the potential to germinate and grow. They will not produce any fruit. They become ineffective.
Conduct Worthy of Alochana
So the girls ask for forgiveness by recalling all of their mistakes. 'I made this mistake fifteen years ago, I made this mistake twenty years ago, these are the mistakes I made. They will recall all of them and say, 'I am asking for forgiveness, so please forgive me.
Then, do you know what remains after that? If one has tied a double running knot (that which cannot be undone, disentangled, opened),' then in the next life, the ongoing effect will be very difficult for the girls to suffer. But if you burn them now, a burned and cindered, double running knot will remain intact but it will disintegrate with just a mere touch. So in the next life, one has to do just that; that is all. Do you understand?
So is this an easy path or is it wrong? 'We help wash off everything. One lady tells me, Dada, I have bound enmity with that lady.' I asked her, "Why have you bound enmity with her? What kind of enmity is it?' She told me, 'I vowed that I will come as a snake in my next life and bite her. That is the kind of enmity I have bound.' I told to her, 'Do not bind any enmity.' She said, "But I have already bound it, so what should I do? So then I washed it off for her. But what revenge (veyr) did she bind for the next life?
Questioner: That she will become a snake and then bite her.
Dadashri: I asked her, 'Sister, why have you taken on such a grave liability?' and she told me, "She and my husband were friends when I married my husband. She does not leave him alone, so that day I had decided that I will not leave her alone in her next life, I will bite her as snake in her next life.' So
This awakened awareness is the awareness (jagruti) 'we' have given you, none other. That awareness would be at a very high level if there were no veils over it. When 'we' give you Gnan, the awareness is very high that day. That is real awareness.
Questioner: All of us do not confess to Dadashri. We do not tell Him everything, we come here and sit down without saying a word. We do not say anything about our mistakes...
(422) Dadashri: It is fine if you do not talk about your mistakes here, but you do open up in detail to the 'Dada' within, don't you?
Questioner: Yes, I do that but should the awareness not increase? Or should I keep showing the mistakes to Dada to increase the awareness?
Dadashri: You do not have to tell Me all your mistakes. If you did, when would it all end?
