in your mind. The effects in your mind will entangle the other
person. He will not know exactly what is going on but it will
entangle him. Therefore, you should destroy such opinions. You
should wash off all your opinions, and then you are free. Then
your mind will change.
Many people’s speech has been completely spoiled, and
that too is because of opinions. Hence, the problem lies with the
opinions one has stored. There is no problem with opinions that
have not been stored.
Questioner: But are we not liable for the scorn we
experience today?
Dadashri: No, you are not liable; when you ‘see’ and
‘know’ then you are not liable. When you become aware of the
fact that, ‘When this person comes along, I feel scorn towards
him and when that person comes along, I feel happy within,’
then it is more than enough.
Questioner: Should one do pratikraman then?
Dadashri: You should do pratikraman if the other person
feels hurt. Thoughts will come and go; you do not have to do
pratikraman for that. For that you have to have in your mind
that ‘this should not be so.’ That is more than enough if you say
that. You need pratikraman when someone gets hurt by your
anger or negativity.
Questioner: So I do not have to do pratikraman for
having such thoughts?
Dadashri: All that will continue to take place. It took no
time when it went in and it takes no time to come out.
