UNDERSTANDING SAMAYIK
565
do many samayiks. You may not be able to see all of a sudden in the first few samayiks. However, after you do more samayiks, You will be able to 'see' in great detail.
First, hold Dada in your meditation (dhyan), recall Him, read one or two pads (Dada's spiritual hymns), recite the Trimantra and repeat several times, 'I am pure Soul,' and come into the stillness of the Self. Then whatever You 'see,' starting from today going back to your younger years, whatever mistakes committed with reference to violence (himsa), lying, fraud, deceit, sexual mistakes, etc.; start doing pratikraman for whatever You 'see.' Go back in time starting from today. Recall all that You can from your childhood, or else recall with whomever you did atikraman yesterday and the day before, and so on; they will naturally come to you. If they do not come to You naturally, do not worry.
Once you begin, there will be a very heavy 'rainfall'; it will 'rain' even in the desert! Then, if you have hurt anyone through any wrongdoing, through speech, deceit, greed, pride; if you insulted or talked negatively about any religion; do pratikraman for all that and move forward. Then, if you have made mistakes regarding sexuality, adultery, or even had thoughts about them, recall them, too, and do pratikraman. Where anything occurs that the world looks down on, are the acts which bring on a future life in a lower life form; and so do pratikraman for all that.
This speech (of the Gnani Purush) is filled with life (chetan), thus this speech will verily do the work, take you to liberation. Start doing pratikraman with purity. There are five Mahavrats (five cardinal vows of non-possession, non-violence, not stealing, not lying and celibacy) and you have to do pratikraman for wherever you have violated these mahavrats; you do not have to do anything else. You don't have to do pratikraman if you have gone out, eaten a paan, smoked a cigarette, etc. Human

Pratikraman
beings have to do pratikraman for atikraman done against each other; meaning do pratikraman for mistakes against mishrachetan (the one who believes 'I am Chandulal'). So I am telling you to do pratikraman for mistakes committed against other people (mishrachetan).
This is now being given to You as Dada's Agna and follow it as such. As it is, you do pratikraman every day. If you have had any sexual thoughts about another living being, or any other such mistakes, recall them, going back to your childhood and do pratikraman for them. Because this pratikraman is through the Agna of the Gnani Purush, everything will be erased. What are human beings not capable of doing? But if you follow My Agna, everything will clear up.
Questioner: What falls in the category of mishrachetan?
Dadashri: Mishrachetan means, if you have kicked a dog, this means you have bound vengeance with it. If you have pushed at or shoved someone in the way, that too is a mistake against mishrachetan. Recall all such mistakes committed against every mishrachetan (mixture of the Self and the non-Self); do alochana, pratikraman and pratyakhyan. You can 'operate' on all your mistakes by remaining in the Agnas of the Gnani Purush. This is a 'lift (elevator; a quick shortcut)' path. You happen to come across it in passing (it is not something you have worked to earn), so by remaining in the Agnas, You will clear everything. In so doing, You will be able to go to moksha.
Questioner: What if I am not able to remember my (534)
mistakes?
Dadashri: Then recall Dada and tell him, 'Oh, Dada Bhagwan, I can't remember anymore,' and it will come to You. As many mistakes You are able to 'see,' that many will be destroyed. Now, Your experience of your inner bliss has begun but whatever mistakes you have committed with other
