________________ On Paryushan, see whole year's sins, feel the heartache; You feel like dying that day, alas! How people were hurt! Did you ever have these feelings, or simply got dressed and jeweled up; Like going to a wedding on the Paryushan day, formal and smug! 'Forgive my bad actions to those they like, no remorse for all others; You've ruined Vitarag Gods' reputation; this isn't Mahavir's religion! In true Vitarag religion, five hundred pratikramans are done daily: It is done 'shoot-on-sight' and with repentance nightly and daily! This is Mahavir's reign and Gnani' is omamental to the reign; In Kali-Kaal, Kramic path stagnant; Akram moksha unveiled through 'Us! With instant-cash pratikraman, adverse mediation vanishes; Where Akram Gnani has manifested, "Godly state is attained with ease! Pratikraman's purpose is fulfilled, be it credit karma or freedom; Whether done in ignorance or knowledge, it is the main support! Self-knowledge is freedom-path and not pratikraman alone; Pratikraman after Self-awareness starts You on to Liberation! After the illusion-I am Chandulal- is gone, bondage of karma stops: With the illusion, pratikraman is for recurrent cycles of dirtying and cleansing! Pratikraman is recommended, do it shoot-on-sight'; If you can't do that-next is- do it morning and night! Can't do this, do it fortnightly, or every four months; Once a year if nothing else, if no mother aunt will do! Even aunt isn't real in this Kali-Kaal, she is like a hired one; Where's moksha? Where's religion? It is only the egoism's illusion! Doer or helper, pratikraman should be done proper; Created are decorative words, intents are forgotten! Atikraman is at every step, yet the remedy is pratikraman; In the realm of the Vitarag there is no secret or corruption! You do pratikraman for the dead and not for the living: Bhaav-pratikramans are true; wrong are those with words and rituals! Those won't have proper result, its' true value is illusory; Believed as Self's benefit; its' a loss and not a victory! To recite like a parrot is effect-dravya pratikraman; 'It shouldn't be so intent is called as bhaav-pratikraman! If chain of life after life mistakes isn't broken, it isn't "Samvatsari of Mahavir, They're ineffective pratikramans and they disgrace Lord Mahavir! Please forgive me readers but my heart is getting filled; I do pratikraman for the strong words that were scribed! Action with 'I am the doer' casts more veils of illusion, eludes liberation; Chanting in AM and PM he drinks the ointment, meant to be applied! Vows of Kramic path to eat no root vegetables or at night; Taken without understanding, vows won't help in Liberation! Vows can be taken for only faults whose pratikraman was done; Explanation of proper pratikraman, Akram Vignan has done! To cleanse the blemish, ascetics apply soap on the table; Followers scrub the floor, world laughs at this! They take vows to renounce and slowly they can quit it; But vow to renounce what is quit, how can one deal with such understanding? For all atikramans done through acts, pratikraman must be done in Kramic; In Akram Path, body is separate from the Self; no action will touch! Credit and debit karma get cleansed by doing pratikraman; For moksha, both types of karma are renounced and the Self is acquired! Without awareness, pratikraman 'shoot-on-sight' can't be done; After "Gnani' awakens the Self, the kite string stays in hand! Pratikraman in ignorant state binds less sins; After Self-vision, with awareness, it is done in the true form! Wash and wear clothes daily, write account book daily: When pratikraman done yearly then; why not wash clothes yearly? Gnani too, after scolding someone, does pratikraman right away; This is just natural evidence and here, no one's fault is at play!
