Pratikraman
(illusory attraction) inside, filled from the past life, and that is
why this circumstance (sainyog) arose. When do such
circumstances come together? It is not as if you went out to
invite them! But they come together, all the same! When
circumstances come together, your mind at that time is under the
influence of moha and the subatomic particles of sexuality will
show you all its phases. What should You do at that time? Who
is the nimit for this wrong sexual thought? You should do
pratikraman in the name of that nimit. Then do the pratikraman
to the pure Soul of that lady by saying, ‘Dear pure Soul, who
is separate from the union of mind, speech and body, charge
karma (bhaavkarma), subtle discharge karma (dravyakarma)
and gross discharge karma (nokarma) of this lady (insert her
name here)! I just had sexual thoughts about this lady. For that
I am doing alochana (confession) in front of Dada Bhagwan.’
To declare this is alochana. You do not need to call Me there
for My physical presence. You can have Me there through this
inner contemplation and then do the pratikraman: ‘Dear pure
Soul, grant me the power and energy not to have such thoughts
about anybody. I am asking for Your forgiveness for such
thoughts. Grant me the energy never to have such sexual thoughts
about anybody.’
‘It is my determination and desire never to harbor such
thoughts in the future,’ is called pratyakhyan.
(312)
Your wish is to never have such thoughts again, and yet
they will come if they are in your karmic stock. But you will
have to do pratyakhyan every time. However many times you
do pratyakhyan, that many layers of the ‘onion’ are shed. Then
the next layer will come. Which onions have more layers, small
ones or big ones?
Questioner: Large ones have more.
Dadashri: Yes, so for the one who has a ‘large onion,’
for him more layers will be shed. But they are being shed.
