wishes, because he is not the doer. If he were the doer, then he
too would bind karma. But because he is not a doer, he can do
whatever he chooses.
You should do alochana to your guru. Your final guru is
your ‘Dada Bhagwan’ (The Self that has awakened within you
after Gnan Vidhi), I merely show you the way. Now that I have
shown you your final Guru, he will continue to answer your
questions and that is why he is ‘Dada Bhagwan’. However until
he takes over being your living internal Lord, you may consider
this ‘Dada’ and the Lord within, as your pure Self. When he
becomes established within you, the answers will come from
within. Ultimately he will be fully enlightened.
If you hide things from the Gnani Purush, it will hinder
you. People do pratikraman in order to bring things out into the
open. That man brought so much baggage with him and he
came here to confess everything. What happens when you try to
hide things? Your faults will remain hidden and they will double.
You ought to have the same familiarity with pratikraman
as you do with a woman. Just as you cannot forget a woman,
in the same manner you cannot forget to do pratikraman. All
day long you should keep asking for forgiveness. You should
make it a habit to ask for forgiveness. But instead you make it
a habit to see faults in others.
You should start the sacrificial fire of intense pratikraman
for whomever you have had excessive atikraman with. You
have done so many atikramans and all these problems you have
are because you have not done pratikraman.
This pratikraman is my most subtle discovery. If you can
understand this discovery of pratikraman, then you will not have
any problems with anyone.
Questioner: My list of faults is very long.
