Pratikraman
If they are fighting with someone, ‘we – Dadashri’ will not
rebuke them. Even if two gnanis (mahatmas) are quarrelling,
‘we’ will not rebuke them. ‘We’ recognize that they are settling
their files. Then they immediately turn around and do
pratikraman. ‘We’ do not have to say anything; they will do
pratikraman on their own. This is how pratikraman is in this
path.
The Self is a Shuddhatma and the one within that carries
out the internal actions is called pragnya bhaav. And it is this
pragnya bhaav that says, ‘Do pratikraman.’ That is how, in
a different way, the dialogue is carried out within. ‘It,’ pragnya
shakti, tells ‘Chandubhai’, ‘You did atikraman, so do
pratikraman.’ Atikraman means if you were coming here and
his bhaav (inner intent) changes even a little (it becomes negative),
you would not be aware of it, nor would anyone else. But he
would know that his inner intent became spoilt. So then pragnya
shakti will immediately tell him, ‘Do pratikraman for that
person.’ So he will do pratikraman in your name; he will do a
‘shoot-on-sight’ pratikraman in your name. Not a single
pratikraman will remain to be done.
Make the Neighbor Do Pratikraman
Questioner: When I keep awareness of the Self, the
Self does not bind karma, so then why do I have to do
pratikraman?
Dadashri: This is all a neighborly duty. You are taking
Your closest neighbor, Your first neighbor (‘Chandubhai’), and
explaining to him that he has done atikraman, so he should do
pratikraman. Otherwise he will have to face the liability.
Pratikraman has to be done for atikraman. This is the path of
Akram and so nothing will burn out (mistakes will not be
destroyed) on its own. Without alochana, pratikraman and
pratyakhyan, not a single thing in this world will burn out and
one will not attain moksha.
