destroy demerit karma-sins (paap) of infinite past lives. What
kind of pratikraman is this? All enmity (veyr) comes to an end.
The highest enmity is bound with fellow students on the same
path (sahadhyayi; fellow spiritual colleagues). Here, for
mahatmas, it is the spiritual path and, therefore, the highest
enmity is bound with a fellow mahatma. There is no enmity with
the rest of the world at any given day, whereas the sahadhyayi
is on your mind the whole day.

Questioner: Was enmity bound with fellow students even
in Satyug (time cycle of unity in mind, speech and body actions)?
Dadashri: No, enmity was not bound at that time. People’s
understanding was very elevated then. Their love was very sticky.
Questioner: What is the reason for enmity towards fellow
students on the same path of study (liberation)?
Dadashri: Wrong understanding. There was no such thing
during the Satyug. A thief was a thief; a cunning person was
cunning and a noble person was noble. The world has never
been without thieves, but there are fewer thieves in Satyug.
All those who are close to us now, and those in our
proximity, have been with us in past lives and are together with
us even now. Many of them may be considered our spiritual
colleagues. It is with these very people that we have bound
vengeance over past lives. If both the sides did pratikraman,
their accounts would clear very quickly. Do not forget anyone.
Vengeance is bound more strongly especially with spiritual
colleagues (sahadhyayi), and if you do face-to-face pratikraman
with them, your mistakes will be washed away. This is the kind
of pratikraman we did in Aurangabad. Such pratikraman has
never been done before, anywhere else in the world.
