384 Pratikraman
Shuddhatma ( the Self ) and ‘ Chandulal ’ ( the non-Self ; prakruti ) are separate . To keep ‘ seeing ’ prakruti is purusharth ( real spiritual effort ). When one does purusharth after becoming a Purush ( the Self ), it is considered purusharth towards moksha .
Whatever one has done , and no matter how horrible its effects , if he remains in the Gnan of vyavasthit , then he does not need to do pratikraman .
What is the other meaning of vyavasthit ? It means to continue to ‘ see ’ what ‘ Chandulal ’ is doing . If ‘ Chandulal ’ does a million dollar damage to someone , continue ‘ seeing ’ that too . You should not become one in it ( tanmayakar ). ‘ Why did you do that ? Do pratikraman for that .’ Actually , not everyone understands this . Vyavasthit means that whatever it is , it is verily correct . But You are free if You continue to ‘ see ’ it .
It Affects the Other Person the Moment You Do Pratikraman
Questioner : I become engrossed ( tanmayakar ; becoming ‘ Chandulal ’) in circumstances , so there is no opportunity for doing pratikraman there .
Dadashri : The opportunity of doing pratikraman arises when the other person gets hurt , You have to say , ‘ Chandulal , do pratikraman . He will bind vengeance . It seems that atikraman has occurred with him , his face becomes stern when he looks at you , so do pratikraman .’ So he will ask , ‘ Should I do one pratikraman ?’ You should tell him , ‘ No , do twentyfive to fifty so that you see a smile on his face .’ His face will be much better looking the next day , when you do pratikraman in this manner . Try it once . Have you experienced that before ?
Questioner : Yes .
Dadashri : Is that so ? So after tasting such experience , have you remained that way ?
