[10] When Conflicts Arise 205 not allow me to attend anywhere else.’ I told him, “We’ have a place for everyone here, rebel or not.’ Rebel if you want to, but attain your Self. By rebelling he may curse a few people; what else is he going to do? He may say, ‘You have no sense. You are like this or you are like that.’ He is going to curse the non-Self complex (pudgal), is he not? Can anyone curse the Self? Conflict will occur. Do pots and pans not make noise when we bang them together? It is pudgal’s (non-Self) nature to get into conflict, but that too only if there is such a karmic stock within. If there is no such stock within, there will be no conflict. ‘We’ too used to have conflict. But after attaining Gnan, there has not been any conflict because our Gnan is experiential (anubhav) Gnan. What is more, ‘we’ have come here having settled everything through this Gnan. ‘We’ have thought everything through, whereas you still have to settle everything. You are sitting in moksha, having constructed the third floor, but you still have to construct the first floor, do you not?

Not Kram (step-by-step), but Akram (step-less)! (194) Guarantee of Liberation in Three More Lives If a person does not have any conflict, I guarantee that he will attain moksha (ultimate liberation) in only three lifetimes. If conflict occurs, you should do pratikraman. Conflict occurs between two pudgals (effective complexes of thoughts, speech and acts) and these conflicts can be dissolved with pratikraman.
