Pratikraman
Questioner: But Lord Parshvanath was not even aware
of it, was He?
Dadashri: How can everyone know about that? How
can one know what the reason behind the current suffering is?
It is certain that it is the fruit of one’s own doing. Lord Parshvanath
would at least know that people were giving Him back that
which was his own. If the restlessness and anger get multiplied
in this effect and unfolding, it will take longer to resolve and
settle.
Lord Parshvanath did not react and, therefore, it was all
over in ten lifetimes.
Questioner: Even then, it lasted for ten lifetimes; that is
not a short time!
Dadashri: Do you know from how many lifetimes these
ten lifetimes was the basis? Do you know that?
Questioner: I do not know anything about that.
Dadashri: It is the equivalent to one strand of hair! Ten
lifetimes are not even one strand of hair!
Questioner: Oh! As compared to infinite lifetimes, it is
nothing. That is why he maintained equanimity in the ten lifetimes.
Dadashri: That is why it came to an end. For the first
two or three lives, it was not exact equanimity. There was some
irritation and then it improved. It is not possible to suddenly
maintain complete equanimity in this world. Even gnanis cannot
do that. But this is the science of Akram, and so it is possible.
