Pratikraman 81 tiger and a human. The difference is in the vibrations you emit. It is your vibrations that will affect the tiger. As long as you believe in your mind that a tiger is a violent animal, the tiger will remain violent. If you are aware that the tiger is the Soul, then it will have no violence with you. Everything is possible. You must understand how effective your bhaav can be in causing an effect that can be destructive. If a monkey destroys all the mangoes on your mango tree, then in the moment of frustration you may say that it would have been better to chop off the mango tree altogether. Beware of the inner intent behind what you say. Words spoken in the presence of the Self do not go to waste. If you are careful not to cause a negative effect, then everything will be fine. Everything around you is what you have created. From this moment onwards, stop any vibrations or thoughts towards others. If a thought arises, wash it off by doing pratikraman. That way the entire day will pass without any vibrations. If you can get through the whole day this way, it is enough. That by itself is a great achievement towards liberation. After this Gnan, the newer events of your life will not become impure. The old phases however, will have to be made pure by seeing them or dealing with them with equanimity. This equanimity is the nature of the Vitarag. New phases will not become impure, they will remain pure. It is the older phases, which are impure and will need to be purified. Remaining within my Agnas, and maintaining equanimity will accomplish that. Questioner: Dada how do the different karmas created before this Gnan, come to an end? Dadashri: As long as you are living, you can wash them away by repenting. But a few will still remain, and those that remain will become very weak, so in your next life they will fall away by merely touching them, like a burnt rope.
