470 Pratikraman That other man will scold ‘Chandubhai’ and tell him, ‘You are worthless. Why do you keep talking in this manner?’ Or he may even slap you - ‘Chandubhai’; the guilty one has to take the beating. (446) Questioner: So does that mean that he ‘charged’ that karma? Dadashri: No. That is why pratikraman has to be done. But You do not have to do the pratikraman, ‘Chandubhai’ has to do it. You (the Self) have to tell ‘Chandubhai’, ‘Why did you do atikraman? Do pratikraman for it.’ Questioner: But suppose that ‘Chandubhai’ does not do pratikraman, then what? Dadashri: Then it can be acceptable. Questioner: So it got ‘charged,’ did it not? Dadashri: No. It does not get ‘charged.’ Questioner: Pratikraman should be done. Dadashri: All the files will be cleared if you do it. They got cleared with Gnan and got put away. Whatever clothes you wash, put them away. They will go for ironing automatically. When Does Karma Get Charged? Questioner: Does charging of karma take place after Gnan? Dadashri: How can charging take place? When does charging occur? Are you convinced that vyavasthit (scientific circumstantial evidences) is the doer? Questioner: Yes. Dadashri: And that ‘Chandubhai’ is not the doer – are you convinced of that?
