Bails and Bails of Mistakes
Questioner: Pratikraman should be done only if a
mistake has occurred, is that not so?
Dadashri: There is nothing but mistakes. One is full of
mistakes (aparadha). He is indeed covered with mistakes. Even
those at the fourth gunasthanak (spiritual level) are considered
to be with mistakes. One has not become without mistakes
(niraparadhi) at all, not even for a moment.
One becomes niraparadhi only when he attains the Self.
When one becomes niraparadhi, it means that the ego
(ahamkar) and my-ness (mamata) is gone. But the neighbor
(‘Chandulal,’ non-Self complex) is aparadhi. So then here ‘we’
have separated everything into two parts, the prakruti (the non-
Self) and the Purush (the Self). Having become the Purush (the
Self), You are letting the prakruti know that, ‘You are my
neighbor. That is why I advise you to do pratikraman for the
atikraman you do.’
So all this occurs naturally, does it not? This Gnan is such.
And then we have the Agnas. So the Agnas will take it up and
get things done. The Self does not have to do anything. With our
Agnas, everything can be done. Therefore, this ‘file’ (file number
one) will not see the other file at fault (doshit). No man appears
as doshit (at fault) to ‘us’ whatsoever. Whether he offers flowers
or throws stones, he is flawless. This Akram Science is available
very rarely, once in a million years.
Mistakes Are Washed Through Repenting
Insistence (aagraha) is the greatest poison. Insistence in
any matter is poisonous. ‘We’ do not have any insistence
(niragrahi). Whatever part of you becomes free from insistence
(niragrahi), that much has been corrected.
Not a single living being is at fault in this world; that is the
