Pratikraman
with that speech. See what kind of a world this is!
‘Our’ opinion behind what ‘we’ say is different. What
kind of a world is this? When ‘we’ speak, our opinion behind
it is, ‘This is not how it is. This is wrong. This should not be so.’
But look how this world runs. ‘We’ remain in the awareness of
how this world runs.
As ‘we’ speak, there is also the awareness along with it
that, ‘It should not be this way,’ because ‘we’ have seen the
whole world as nirdosh (flawless). Why has that not come into
our experience (anubhav)? It is because of this meddling speech.
Questioner: Although there is meddling, Your awareness
is constant and very high.
Dadashri: No, but although the awareness is there, until
this kind of speech ends, the absolute state cannot be attained.
How forceful this speech comes out!
Now when was this speech created? It was when ‘we’
had not seen the world as nirdosh (flawless). ‘He is at fault in
this manner. Why is he doing it this way? It should not be like
this. How can the Jain religion be like this? Etc.’ Therefore,
whatever was stored (in ignorance in the past life; before Gnan)
is what is being discharged today. Those opinions are being
discharged today. And today ‘we’ are no longer in agreement
with those opinions.
Pratikramans of the Gnani Purush
Have you done your pratikraman? Make sure you do
pratikraman; otherwise, it will not become clean. Do alochana,
pratikraman and pratyakhyan every day in the presence of
Dada.
Questioner: It is not our intention to say anything negative
about the other person, so then should we do pratikraman?
We are only speaking the truth, are we not?
