completely separate from that person’s dravyakarma, nokarma
and bhaavkarma, and do pratikraman.
Questioner: Do I have to say all this long sentence when
I do pratikraman?
Dadashri: No, it is not necessary. Make it short. Make
a phone call to the pure Soul of the opponent and say, ‘I have
made this mistake, please forgive me.’
Questioner: Even when doing ‘shoot-on-sight’
pratikraman, is there any need for one to sit still?
Dadashri: It is acceptable even if one does not sit still but
does pratikraman; but it should be ‘shoot-on-sight.’ It should
be done immediately after the mistake occurs. Otherwise, you
may forget to do pratikraman.
Then It Will Not Stick To You in Your Next Life
Questioner: How many pratikramans should one do in
a day?
Dadashri: As many as the number of mistakes that are
made, not more. They should be ‘shoot-on-sight’ pratikramans.
The moment any fault occurs, shoot it down. It will be shot
down. Pratikraman can be done while you are drinking your
tea or while taking a bath. Where there are bodily actions (deha-
dharma), functioning of the mind (mano-dharma) or functioning
of the intellect (buddhi-dharma), the location also has to be
considered. Ours is religion of the Self (Atma-dharma) and so
it is not necessary to look into the relative; we can do
pratikraman anywhere.
However many mistakes you destroy with pratikraman,
that is how much closer you come towards moksha.
Questioner: Will those files not stick to us in our next
life?
