Pratikraman Changes Dhyan
Questioner: Does ‘shoot-on-sight’ pratikraman
represent a change in one’s meditation (dhyan)?
(144)
Dadashri: Yes, that is indeed a change in one’s dhyan.
Questioner: When one ‘shoots,’ he destroys the pudgal
(the non-Self complex that arises and dissipates) and that is
meddling with what was to be in vyavasthit. So then what will
his next life be like?
Dadashri: It will be just the same. Whatever kind of link
there is, that link will be the same.
Questioner: When one ‘shoots’ the atikraman and turns
things around; will his life have the same longevity or will it be
shorter?
Dadashri: There is no effect on the lifespan. All the
circumstantial evidences would come together and his life would
end. The ‘spinning top’ would stop spinning.
How are things with you?
Questioner: I can see five hundred to a thousand mistakes.
Dadashri: Just look! Every day he can see five hundred
mistakes! If someone were to publish this in a newspaper, people
would come to do his darshan and pay respects. Otherwise, is
anyone able to see his own mistakes? They cannot see even five
mistakes! There are so many prominent acharyas (spiritual
masters) but even they cannot see five or so of their own mistakes.
How many of your own mistakes can you see now?
Questioner: Numerous.
Dadashri: What more! Even if just one mistake is seen,
one can be considered a God! So what occurs when one can
see all of them?
