Pratikraman
‘our’ conduct (vartan, charitra). You, however, do not have
the same experience. You still see mistakes in the world. You
have to do pratikraman when someone does something wrong
to you because you see him as being at fault, do you not?
Questioner: If I do pratikraman afterwards, is that not
considered a conviction (pratiti)?
Dadashri: But in the beginning, he is looked upon as the
one at fault (doshit), and that is why you have to do the
pratikraman, do you not?
Questioner: Yes, I have to do pratikraman afterwards.
Dadashri: But that is because you see him at fault, is it
not? That means flawless vision (nirdosh) has not become fully
established within, has it?
Questioner: But pratikraman can only be done if the
conviction of flawlessness (nirdosh) has become established, is
that not so?
(412)
Dadashri: But keep ‘seeing’ the one who sees the fault.
Atikraman Decreases As Awakened
Awareness Increases
Questioner: As the awakened awareness (jagruti)
becomes more continuous, pratikraman decreases by that
much.
Dadashri: Pratikraman is to be done only when a mistake
occurs within, only if atikraman has occurred. It is not a rule
that there is increased atikraman the day the awareness is greater.
Questioner: Does atikraman occur if one remains in the
awareness of the pure Self (shuddha upayog)?
Dadashri: Yes, atikraman as well as pratikraman can
occur in shuddha upayog.
