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

[14] Release from Bondage of Inner Enemies 283 In the Absence of the ‘Doer,’ Karmas Get Erased So when anger arises, he says, ‘Dear Dada Bhagwan! You have said ‘no,’ but this occurred and, therefore, I ask for your forgiveness.’ And so that mistake gets erased. Questioner: ‘This should not be so.’ Dadashri: Yes. Questioner: It should happen immediately? Dadashri: Yes, that is why it gets erased. How are they erased? Through pratikraman. All the karmas get erased. Because the doer is no longer there, they get completely erased. When the doer is absent, only the effects of past karma are suffered. People who do not have the knowledge of the Self have to suffer the effect in the presence of the ‘doer’ (ego). Their karmas may weaken a little if they do pratikraman, but they are not erased completely. Their causes will not refrain from bringing about new karma effects, whereas for You, that karma is destroyed when you say, ‘Dear Dada Bhagwan, this should not be so.’ Sarvavirati Gunasthanak: The Sixth Gunasthanak What more remains for the one who has ‘shoot-on-sight’ pratikraman in his hands? What is left when abhorrence (dwesh) goes away? Two of the four kashays have been eradicated. Eradicated, meaning what? Anger is gone but the subatomic particles (parmanus) of anger remain to discharge. Therefore, one will become angry but he will not like it at all and, therefore, dwesh is completely gone. But some fraction of deceit and greed still remain. One will become vitarag when they too go away completely. They will go away in the ‘discharging conduct deluding karma’ (charitra mohaniya). Everything will become separate when you divide it up.
