Pratikraman
of pratikraman. There is no problem if you are not able to do
anything. I forgive you even if you do not do alochana. I realize
that it may not quite ‘fit’ with people of today. What alochana
are they going to do? Instead, why not let them do pratikraman?
Questioner: But pratyakhyan is also to be done in that,
is it not?
Dadashri: It will be fine if he does not even do
pratyakhyan. If he did atikraman, as long as he does
pratikraman, he will be fine. People of today do not have the
spiritual tenacity.
If one cannot do the whole alochana, pratikraman and
pratyakhyan, it is fine if he just does pratikraman. Keep doing
pratikraman for sticky files; do pratikraman for the mistakes.
This way, its design will be intact but it will disintegrate at the
mere touch; it will fall away. The stickiness of karma will no
longer remain if you do pratikraman for it. Pratikraman removes
the stickiness. Otherwise, no matter how much you scrub, it will
not go away.
Questioner: So we have to do pratikraman to destroy
sticky karma?
Dadashri: There is no other solution besides alochana,
pratikraman and pratyakhyan. Therefore, invoke ‘Dada’ and
say, ‘I have made this mistake, I am very sorry for it,’ and do
pratyakhyan, ‘I will not do it again.’ This is the only solution.
There is no other solution.

with equanimity, but it does not happen.’ Then I reply, ‘You do
not have to enter the doership of trying to settle (nikaal) the file!
You just have to have an inner intent (bhaav) to settle the file
with equanimity. Whether it settles with equanimity (sambhav)
