Pratikraman
Dadashri: There are two ways to deal with that. One is
to repent when you experience such feelings. The other is to
realize that the jealousy is the result or effect from your previous
life, and that they just happen, you do not make them happen.
These feelings will disappear provided you do not accept them
as yours and become involved with them. Just be aware of the
traits of jealousy occurring within and remain separate. If however,
you become jealous then you have to pratikraman.
Questioner: I do not want to harbor any suspicion for
anyone, yet it happens. How can I stop this, Dada?
Dadashri: You must see the Pure Self of the person
whom you have suspicions for, and ask for forgiveness. You
should do pratikraman. These doubts that you feel come from
the mistakes from your previous lifetime.
If you are walking alone at night and fear you might get
mugged, you must do pratikraman for this. This suspicion spoils
everything. Take the necessary precautions while doing
pratikramans. If you harbor suspicions, things may go wrong.
Do not allow yourself to become suspicious of any living being.
Suspicion brings suffering. If you do nothing to dismiss your
doubts, they will consume you.
When you feel doubt, you must make Chandulal do
pratikraman. You are the Lord of this universe, so why must
you have any doubts? It is human nature to have doubts, but
you must do instant pratikraman for this mistake.
When you become aware of the slightest thought, good
or bad, about anyone, you must erase it immediately. If these
thoughts are allowed to linger, they will reach the other person
and proliferate. They can grow in a matter of hours, and
continue for days. You should not allow your vibrations to
flow in this way.
