Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts (Full Version) Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts | Page 13

This is ‘Akram Vignan’; it has got to give result;
Moksha in two hours, hear Gnani’s Gnan -Agna!
Subtle pain inflicted to someone, that too is called atikraman;
You may be aware or not, instantly do pratikraman!
That which is done voluntarily is where one can ‘do’ purusharth -self effort;
That which is done due to pressure of forces is mandatory and is karma effect!
Doing is mandatory; like-dislike is voluntary;
Facing insult is mandatory; pratikraman is voluntary!
Ignorant one has free will to do repentance and resolve;
When stealing-killing pleases; a huge tuber of sin is formed!
Sensualist’s thoughtful pratikraman results in celibacy;
Purity from hearty pratikraman then rests on Dada!
Pratikraman and Trimantra done together certainly give the result;
Prayer to great Gods and freedom from sinful karma is the result!
Endless pratikramans have shown no result yet, why?
Not one was with ‘shoot-on-sight’ knowledge, that’s why!
Pratikraman done in morning and evening, but mechanically;
Pratikraman without repentance, pratikraman it can’t be!
What was memorized is spoken daily, just like a record;
Not finding the real culprit, he hurts the person in front!
Not a single mistake is absolved, whole life he did;
Pratikraman like a parrot; Mahavir’s path it can’t be!
Pratikraman in Maagdhi language isn’t understood very well;Ascetics and
saints say, ‘I did’ and raise the egoism as well!
Mahavir’s so called followers ‘perverse and insensitive’, without exception;
Believe that Self resides in rituals; leaving no space for complaint!
Disciples of middle twenty-two Tirthankars, proficient they were;
Alert at every moment each day, they did pratikraman everywhere!
If you ask the meaning of daily pratikraman, they know it not;
Annual pratikraman of Samvatsari, sins will not wash!
