Pratikraman
you should do pratikraman right away.
Questioner: Should one do that even when the inner
intent becomes spoilt that way?
Dadashri: Yes. If abhaav (dislike, aversion) or something
like that has occurred; even if the slightest contempt has occurred
in the mind, you have to do pratikraman. What is considered
a spoilt mind? It is not just the mind that goes bad. When the
whole ‘parliament’ (mind, intellect, chit and ego) agrees, then

You feel, ‘I will do this to him, I will do that to him;’ this is not
just caused by the mind. The mind is a gneya (that which is to
be ‘known’). The mind by nature is vitarag – free from

spoilt. Agreement and final decision of the parliamentary
antahkaran (mind, intellect, chit and ego complex) and spoiling
of the mind are two separate things. If you do pratikraman, the
mind will get cleaned and cooled. So You should keep making
‘Chandulal’ do pratikraman.

become from within. A stain will be caused if the mind becomes
spoilt, therefore, do not let a single thought become spoilt,
especially in satsang. That is what You have to understand.
Everything spoilt when the mind gets spoilt. A mere thought of,
‘I will fall’ will make you fall. Therefore, do pratikraman
immediately upon having a stained thought. Be the Self. Do
pratikraman if anything irritates the mind. You do not have to
do pratikraman for putting a garland around my neck. This is
a ‘credit’ (merit karma). It is a very big ‘credit.’
When the Inner Intent Spoilt
If you come here when it is very crowded, and when
