lighten the karma and after that, You will be able to remain the
‘Knower’ and the ‘Seer’ of the effect. You must do continuous

pratikraman.
The Burden of the Old Mistakes
Questioner: There is a lingering burden of what has
occurred in the past.
Dadashri: You should throw the burden of the past aside.
Why would You want to carry that burden? The burden will
remain if it affects You.
Questioner: The burden of the old mistakes is felt.
Dadashri: How old a mistake?
Questioner: A month or two old.
Dadashri: What is so big about it? Just do pratikraman,
what else can you do?
Questioner: I do pratikraman but I can see the mistake
exactly.
Dadashri: It is the prakruti that you are seeing. The
prakruti will not go away. What does prakruti mean? It is like
layers of an onion; after you get rid of one mistake, a second
one appears, then the third. It is the same mistake with many
layers for which you have to do pratikraman.
Questioner: Pratikraman continues, but as long as I do
not become free from the mistake, the weight of the burden
remains.
Dadashri: You have no choice. There is no other way
but doing alochana, pratikraman and pratyakhyan. Atikraman
