Pratikraman
I may have hurt two or three people. That too, only if one is a
nimit. Afterwards, ‘we’ do his pratikraman and build a ‘fence’
around him so that he does not fall down. However high ‘we’
have taken him, he should not fall from that level. ‘We’ give him
all the support and build protection around him. We will never
let him fall. Even if he is insolent towards ‘us,’ or swears at us,
‘we’ would never let him fall. That poor man does not have the
understanding. He speaks in a state of complete ignorance. We
do not have a problem with that. If ‘we’ let him fall, then it was
wrong for ‘us’ to elevate him in the first place.
‘We’ are with principle. We would go as far as diverting
the course of a road in order to protect a newly planted tree,
but we would not harm the tree. We have principles we follow
so we would never allow anyone to fall. He will remain in the
very same place he was in. ‘We’ will turn all his thoughts around.
Here, sitting at home, ‘we’ change all these thoughts around.
‘We’ put in extra effort in that area. ‘We’ have to make the
special effort. ‘We’ do not have to make extra effort for you all;
but for him ‘we’ have to put in a lot of effort. ‘We’ have to
catch all his thoughts and ‘we’ have to exert effort such that his
thoughts do not go past that point. Such cases are very rare; not
all the cases are like this.
Questioner: What is all this about creating a fence around
him? What does he need that for?
Dadashri: ‘We’ have to catch hold of his antahkaran
(inner mechanism of mind-intellect-chit-ego). ‘We’ have to take
his vyavasthit in ‘our’ hands.
Questioner: How is that?
Dadashri: ‘We’ take charge of all that, otherwise, he will
fall, will he not?
God Does Not Forgive or Punish
