again. If pratikraman is done again, eventually it will all end.
Questioner: If a person hangs on to these talks about
pratikraman, not through words but through experience, then
he will readily have awareness. It does give results.
Dadashri: Our mahatmas have already experienced that,
but for people elsewhere to experience that will take time.
Whatever the distance you have traveled in the wrong direction
as atikraman, if you do a corresponding amount of pratikraman,
you will come back to the starting point, so then have you lost
anything?
Questioner: Then no more loss remains.
Got On the Right Path
Dadashri: After Gnan, everything within runs on the right
track. Before, the entire day used to pass with the inner state in
turmoil and wrong direction. This Gnan ‘does’ everything right.
Even if you slap someone, it will tell you from within, ‘No, no,
you cannot do that; do pratikraman,’ whereas before Gnan, it
would say, ‘He deserves more! This is the way he needs to be
treated!’ So now everything that is going on within is the energy
of the Self-realized (samkit bud). It is a tremendous energy. It
works day and night. It works constantly.
Questioner: Is pragnya doing all that?
(468)
Dadashri: Yes, pragnya is doing it all in order to take
You to moksha. It will take you to moksha, dragging along your
bedding and luggage!
Absolute Conviction of Akram Vignan
Our mahatmas’ conviction (pratiti), ‘I am pure Soul,’
does not leave even when they are clashing with someone.
They may slip from their awareness (laksha) but they will
never lose their pratiti, because it is absolute (kshayak)
conviction (pratiti). It will not leave them even for a moment.
