426 Pratikraman
Suffering According to the Account of Karma
All this corruption and adulteration is equivalent to bestiality ( paashavata ). This will lead to a life in the animal form . One will have to go there and suffer it , won ’ t he ?
Questioner : Whatever it is , good or bad ; one has to pay off the karmic account and then leave , does he not ?
Dadashri : Yes , all the accounts , credit or debit , will have to be paid off . After attaining this Gnan , we have a way not to create any new accounts . You do not bind any karma as long as You remain as the Shuddhatma , and if you slip from the Shuddhatma state and do atikraman , then by doing pratikraman you will wash it off – provided that You remain in awareness !

But that will not be for too long .
Questioner : What should I do about all kinds of mistakes that I made before meeting You , Dada ?
Dadashri : You have to do collective ( jathu ) pratikraman for that . Collective means together . Do it for half an hour a day . Do pratikraman even for throwing a stone at some boy when you were young . The pudgal ( the non-Self complex of mind , speech and body ) will become pure ( shuddha ) when you do pratikraman .

Dadashri : No matter how grave a sin ( paap ) one has committed , it will be destroyed if one does pratikraman .
Questioner : Even if one has murdered someone ? Dadashri : Yes , not just one or two murders , but even for
