effect) will unfold in the next life and continue. But if the person does not have any discipline, then there is no question for him; he is not on any path. And there is no need for conduct or anything else in the Akram path. In the Akram path, artadhyan (adverse internal meditation that hurts the self) and raudradhyan (adverse internal meditation that hurts the self and others) should cease completely.
Questioner: That means that this question does not even arise for the one who takes Gnan in the Akram path because for him thought, speech and action are in the form of discharge (effect).
Dadashri: Thought, speech and action are indeed in the form of discharge, so then what connection can there be?
The Magnificent Nine Kalams
These Nine Kalams liberate one from his roonanubandha (bondage created due to attachment-abhorrence in the previous life) with others over endless previous lifetimes. It is pratikraman, it is the highest pratikraman. It is a tremendously powerful pratikraman.
Questioner: Our inner intent is exactly the same as what the Nine Kalams say. We have the same intent, same wishes and the same opinion as the Nine Kalams.
Dadashri: When you recite the Nine Kalams, all your mistakes, until now, loosen up. The 'fruit' of this is inevitable. The effects of your past mistakes will present like a burned rope. The moment you touch it, it will disintegrate into ashes.

Purity of Chit Verily is the Spiritual Accomplishment
Questioner: How can karma be purified (shuddhi)?
Dadashri: Purity of karma occurs by purifying the chit. When the chit (inner complex of knowledge and vision) becomes pure, so will the karma. Karma becomes impure (ashuddha) because the chit is impure; once the chit becomes pure (shuddha), so will karma. (111)
Questioner: Will all the karmas become pure? Will whatever karma that one does become pure?
Dadashri: Karma will become pure after the chit becomes pure. When the chit is impure (ashuddha), karma becomes impure. When the chit is auspicious and beneficial to others (shubha), then karma is virtuous. When chit is bad, inauspicioushurtful to others (ashubha), karma is bad. So everything depends on the chit! So it is the chit that has to be 'repaired.' People say, 'I have to purify my chit.' Therefore, spirituality (adhyatma) in this world is for the very purpose of purifying the chit. Therefore the chit needs to be purified.
The chit becomes impure when one steals and, by repenting, the very same chit becomes pure again. Impurity of the chit remains in the world because of failure to repent. And that is why all impure deeds (actions; karma) continue. People do not repent even when they know they have done something
