taking the steps. ‘You’ have to tell ‘Chandubhai’ that as far as
possible, don’t take those steps, try not to take any such steps.
Despite that, if it occurs then that is correct.
Questioner: What you are saying is true. We took the
steps by remaining separate but having taken those steps, that
man feels hurt. Is there anything else besides pratikraman that
I can do?
Dadashri: Just pratikraman. There is nothing else you
can do.
Repent for Being the Nimit
Questioner: At work, if a man working under me makes
mistakes, I have to reprimand him. I have to do that because
that is the position I hold at work.
Dadashri: No, but when that occurs, You should make
‘Chandubhai’ do pratikraman. After it occurs, repent for the
fact that you had to do what you ought not to. Through your
being a nimit (instrument), the other person is hurt and so you
have to repent in the following manner: ‘How come I had to do
that? Why did I have to be the nimit (instrument)? I should not
become a nimit like this.’ But you are in a position that you
have no choice but to do that. You have to do what you have
to.

The One at Fault Has To Be Penalized
Questioner: I am a P.A. (personal assistant) of D.S.P.
(District Superintendent of Police). I have to fire a lot of people,
for which I feel bad. Is there a karmic bondage in that?
Dadashri: Does it sometimes happen that you send a
note to those higher up to fire a man, and yet he does not get
fired? Does that occur or not?
Questioner: Yes, that occurs.
