Pratikraman
Questioner: How would I know whether a tuber is large?
Dadashri: When there are recurrent thoughts about
something, that tuber is large. If there is a pile of some lemons
here, some oranges over there and some onions over there, you
will smell all of them. But ‘know’ that the pile that smells the
most is the largest. Therefore, You will ‘know’ from within. If
you have thought after thought about something, then realize that
that stock is large. Make a note of it being number one, another
as number two; check to see how many such tubers there are
within. Then take each of them in upayog (focused awareness
of the Self). Once You ‘see’, ‘know’ and do pratikraman, one
layer is removed. Some have more than five hundred such layers,
some have a hundred layers, some have two hundred layers; but
all of them will empty eventually. You have to become nirgranth
(free from tubers of kashay and vishay) to attain moksha.
Nirgranth means that the inner karmic tubers are gone, only
the external tubers remain. And those external tubers belong to
‘Chandulal’ (the non-Self).
Questioner: Dada, should we arrange for a session of
doing pratikraman in Your presence before You go to America?
Dadashri: Yes, we will do it this very evening. We will
do it in ‘My’ presence. I will sit there. We will make everyone
do it in ‘My’ presence. Many years ago, I made some people
do pratikraman in My presence for mistakes related to sexuality
(vishay). They all went into it so deeply that they could not stop.
Their pratikraman continued even when they went home. Even
during sleep and while eating, their pratikraman continued. This
continued to take place day and night. Then I had to stop it for
them. Even when they wanted to stop the pratikraman, it would
not stop. Once this machinery of pratikraman is set in motion,
it will continue on its own.
