everything will become clean for sure, is that true?
Dadashri: There is no estimate of what has occurred in
the past. One simply comes (is born) with claims; he will bring
forward some kind of a claim or a ‘letter’, therefore, you have
to recognize that it is an account from the past. It appears that

do pratikraman for the claim that exists and arises.

pratikraman as you have been told in Gnan.
Questioner: But, Dada, the ‘attack,’ the effect of clash
seems to be the same again and again, and I do ‘shoot-on-sight’
