mistakes, so should I just keep ‘seeing’ those mistakes? What
else do I need to do?

Dadashri: When you see your own mistakes, you can
share with some people, but not with certain people. And
when you see other’s mistakes, deal with them by doing
pratikraman. These are the three ways you deal with them.
You can either do pratikraman if you see the mistake, and
settle it, or if you do not do pratikraman; then who can you
show their mistakes? You may show the mistakes of policemen,
magistrates, those in a superior position than you; their mistakes.
But all those who work under you, those who are dependant
(ashrit) on you, you should not show them their mistakes. Did
you understand?
Tell ‘Chandubhai’ to Do Pratikraman Instantly
Everyone is full of mistakes. So there will be all kinds of
mistakes made, will there not? No one, without exception, is
free from mistakes. To point out mistakes in others is the work
of a fool. Do you like to point out other’s mistakes?
Questioner: To ‘see’ a mistake of anyone is a mistake
and when it occurs, am I to do pratikraman for it?
Dadashri: When ‘he - file one’ sees mistakes of others,
he should stop right there and tell ‘Chandubhai’ (the non-Self),
‘Oh, ho ho, do you still see mistakes of others? Do pratikraman
for that.’ Doing this is considered as having seen your own
mistake. If you do this fifty times a day or so, that is more than
enough.
You have no right whatsoever to see mistakes of others.
If you do, you should do pratikraman. ‘Chandulal’ is adept at
seeing mistakes in others. It is nothing new. This habit is not easy
to break, but through pratikraman it will eventually cease. When
he sees mistakes in others, You should immediately make him do
pratikraman, which is ‘shoot-on-sight’ pratikraman.
