Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts (Full Version) Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts | Page 24

Arta-raudra meditation never happens in Akram Gnan;
Inside shukla, outside dharma; because ego is lifeless!
Faults that happen now since their pratikraman wasn’t done;
One can get freedom from them if proper pratikraman is done!
Knowing the fault is dharmadhyan, meditation as the Self is shukladhyan;
Inner ‘Absolute’, outer ‘dharma’- know it as state of one more life!
On Akram path, one can go as far as this State;
If inner and outer are ‘Absolute’, moksha happens in the same life!
‘Guests show up at late night’; on seeing them there is strife in mind;
‘Why did the deadbeats show up now’-words promptly flash in mind!
Yet, to their face he says, ‘Welcome, will you take some tea?’
The guests will ask for Khichdi, vegetables or for some curry!
Wife gets upset, husband asks, ‘When are they leaving?’
Wife says, ‘How do I know? Your friends, your habits!’
Tradition states ‘Guest is God’; yet there is arta-raudra dhyan;
For this, pratikraman is necessary, or else, he digs a mine of loss!
Self-realized person’s intents don’t change by doing pratikraman;
He gets rid of faults forever by doing pratyakhyan and pratikraman!
The fault remains pending if pratikraman is not done;
Increase one-two lives, or to Liberation if instantly done!
If a person is openly angry, today from karma he is free;
If angry in his mind, he will bind karma for the next life!
Do pratikraman for abhorrence, because attack is committed;
Attachment is discharge karma; Gnani explains this thoroughly!
However, if one isn’t alert and Agna he didn’t follow;
Do pratikraman for attachment as well or he will fall!
If there is inner link or violent intent, it is called kashay;
If they are absent, it isn’t kashay, there’s only discharge!
Yet, if others get hurt from your discharge kashay;
Doing pratikraman is proper according to Tirthankars!
