Dadashri: That gets washed off and at the same time the energy arises. The energy (shakti) is already there, but it manifests because the mistakes (kashays) get washed off. The energy is there already but it has to manifest. That is why we are asking for Dada's grace, 'May our kashay be washed off so that the energy can manifest.'
Complete energy is there but it remains unmanifested. Why is it not completely manifest? It is because one has interest and attraction for the worldly things and interactions. Nevertheless, it has decreased significantly since attaining this Gnan, has it not? Questioner: Yes. (108)
Dadashri: As this intensity of interest in the non-Self decreases, the energies will manifest. You are not to avoid it, reject it with scorn (tiraskar). To like it means to forget one's Self, to forget one's energies and to become engrossed and involved with it, to become the mind and the body (tanmayakar). Eat and drink but do not become tanmayakar. When you go to see a movie and in the movie, if there is a good looking woman or a good looking man, do you go and hug them? And if someone is beating up someone, do you scream at him and ask him why he is doing it? Do you say, 'Don't hit him"? You understand that you just have to 'see' and not say anything.
How many years has it been since you saw a movie? You used to see them back then, didn't you? You did not ask, 'Why are you hitting him?' did you? Yes! There you have to only
'see.'
The movie does not tell you, 'Carry me with you"! It tells you to just see and leave. What can the poor movie do if you take it the wrong way? The movie does not tell you, 'Take me home with you.' What occurs when one goes around with a 'layer of sticky glue' (one has raag-dwesh within) on him? You have to wash that glue off before you go there. If you go there plastered in glue, then whatever is there, the moment you touch

Pratikraman
it, will stick to you!
So once that energy arises within, the inner energies will manifest and, thereafter, that energy (shakti) verily will do all the work. You will not have to do anything. If you try to do anything, your egoism will increase. You will feel, 'I am trying to do it but it does not occur.' 'It is not occurring' - that is what you will end up with. So ask for that energy. These Nine Kalams encompass pratikraman of the entire world. Do it properly. 'We' will show you but then 'we' have to go back to 'our' 'home' no?
Questioner: In doing pratikraman of 'dosho' (wrongdoing; mistakes), if we recite the Nine Kalams one after another every day, is there energy in it?
Dadashri: Reciting the Nine Kalams is different and doing pratikraman for mistakes is different. You should do pratikraman for your wrongdoing, every day.
Questioner: The Nine Kalams you have given us is for the purpose of purification (shuddhata) of thoughts, speech and actions?
Dadashri: No, no! There is no need whatsoever for such purity (shuddhata) in the path of Akram Vignan. These Nine Kalams have been given to you so that you may become free from all the karmic accounts (hisaabs) which have bound you with others over countless past lives; they are for cleaning up your account books'!
Questioner: These 'accounts' are accounts of thoughts, speech and actions?
Dadashri: No, thought-speech-action is a different thing. In the Kramic path, whatever one's conduct is today, if it is being done with full pleasure, will and endorsement, then the seed (cause of karmic effect) will be sown, and the result (fruit
