Pratikraman
is that of atikraman. There is no problem with the day-to-day
functions of life where no one is hurt. The effect of pratikraman
is that it stops bondage of new karma. The old karma will have
to be suffered.
After the Doership is Gone
Questioner: After attaining Gnan, our ‘doership’ has gone
away. So does that mean our new body complex (pudgal),
ceases to be formed?
Dadashri: Bondage of new karma stops when doership,
‘I am doing this (kartabhav),’ goes away.
Questioner: So then what is the solution to discharge the
remaining old karma?
Dadashri: No, that will occur automatically. If you remain
in the Five Agnas (special directives given by Dadashri after
Self-realization in Gnan Vidhi) that you have been given, then the
old karma will be settled with equanimity, without binding any
new ones.
Questioner: But if we have bound heavy karma, should
we bring an end to it by suffering through it slowly?
Dadashri: No. You have to keep doing pratikraman for
it. A very heavy and sticky karma requires more pratikraman.
If you feel that it is a sticky karma, then if you do pratikraman
and pratyakhyan, it will wash off. It will not go away completely
because this knowledge you have been given is ekavtari Gnan
– one more life remains before attaining moksha.
Questioner: What if there is no awareness when
atikraman occurs?
Dadashri: So, the pratikraman does not occur, is that it?
Questioner: Later, when I become aware, I do
pratikraman.
