[ 16 ] Revenge of Enmity Is Unbearable 301
night . So when atikraman occurs while you are doing pratikraman , just stop it . You should not force it too much .
Questioner : What I mean by ‘ force ’ is that the link of grudge ( taanto ) and abhorrence stops all pratikraman even before it comes into my hands . So the purusharth stops .
Dadashri : But there is a reason that the purusharth comes to a stop . There you have to put an end to it . Take a little break and then start the pratikraman again . But you have to take a break . Do you understand that ? This is because atikraman has occurred for infinite past lives . One has done nothing but atikraman . Nothing else occurs besides atikraman . One either loves someone or hates someone ; they are both considered atikraman . And pratikraman has to be done wherever atikraman is done . There is no path to moksha where there is no pratikraman . Pratikraman should be ‘ shoot-on-sight ’ pratikraman ; only then will atikraman be erased .
Questioner : I have to do a lot of purusharth there .
Dadashri : Purusharth is possible since you became a Purush ( Self-realized ).
Questioner : So what purusharth is needed to become free from this ?
Dadashri : The purusharth is one of continuing to ‘ see ’ what the mind is doing , and what the chit is doing .
The Enemy Has a Change of Heart with Pratikraman
Questioner : No matter how intense an enmity there is towards someone ; no matter how strong malice exists in jealousy towards another human being ; will pratikraman erase all that ?
Dadashri : This world has arisen due to atikraman . All the bad attributes have occurred due to atikraman , and they will be erased with pratikraman . There are only these two .
