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

[13] Liberation from Artadhyan and Raudradhyan 257 Questioner: ‘Again’ means how many more lifetimes will it take? Dadashri: One or two more lifetimes. It is all your responsibility, no one else’s. ‘Chandubhai’ did something wrong – and so You tell ‘Chandubhai’ that he did atikraman and so he has to do pratikraman. You have to make him do the ‘washing.’ ‘You stained the cloth and so you do the washing.’ Questioner: Dada, this is a chore and a lot of work for ‘Chandulal,’ so he will avoid doing pratikraman. Therefore, upayog will not remain. Dadashri: That (doing pratikraman) verily is applied awareness (upayog). Questioner: Then awareness cannot be maintained if atikraman continues to occur the whole day. Dadashri: That, itself, is the applied awareness (upayog). Questioner: What applied awareness is that? Dadashri: That is pure (shuddha) applied awareness (upayog). Questioner: But what about the atikraman that occurred? Dadashri: Yes, but making him do pratikraman is shuddha upayog (pure applied awareness). Questioner: Pratikraman or the atikraman? Dadashri: To make him do pratikraman for the atikraman he did, is shuddha upayog (pure, applied awareness). You have nothing to do with atikraman. You just have to know (jaanyoo) that atikraman occurred, and pratikraman is shuddha upayog. Questioner: Generally, what if in an hour, five to twenty- five atikramans occurred?
