am Dada’s. What are you doing here? Are you not ashamed?’
All you have to do is take Dada’s name.
Questioner: So I feel that such anger will send me back
into the cycles of birth and death. It will create new karmic
bondage.
Dadashri: How is it going to do that? That poor thing
(anger) is neutral. What you say is applicable to those who are
under the control of anger (those who do not have Self-
realization). We are not under its control.
And if pratikraman is not being done, You can tell
‘Chandulal,’ ‘Sir, do pratikraman.’
Questioner: Does anger arise first and then pratikraman
starts?
Dadashri: They will start… both will occur simultaneously.
Questioner: Anger is continuing and pratikraman also
occurs. They both occur simultaneously. Both fight each other.
Atikraman against pratikraman.
Dadashri: Then nothing will remain. Karmic accounts
(hisaab) are being cleared life after life. That is the prakruti
(non-Self) and You are Purush (Self), Shuddhatma. Nothing
touches Shuddhatma. The Self is the Knower-Seer (Gnata-
Drashta). To continue ‘seeing’ the prakruti is purusharth.
Now you have become the Purush (the Self) and this is
prakruti (the non-Self). ‘You’ (Purush) have to keep ‘seeing’
what this prakruti is doing. Whether it (‘Chandulal,’ prakruti)
is doing the good or the bad, You have nothing to do with it.
You (the ‘Seer’) are separate. It is just like watching a gigantic
bonfire. Is the Seer not separate from the fire? Say your home
is on fire, it is burning like a big bonfire, and You are ‘seeing’
it; you will not get burned. And the moment you say, ‘My home
is burning down,’ you will get burned.
