508 Pratikraman Pratikraman in the Famous Pilgrimage with Dada Tremendous energies will blossom by doing pratikraman, but only if it is done as per ‘our’ Agna. Questioner: When and how should it be done? Dadashri: If a person does it after taking ‘our’ Agna, then his work will be accomplished. Especially in this pilgrimage (jatra). Even in circumstances as these, one should do it according to ‘our’ Agna. In 1973, ‘we’ had gone on a thirty-eight day jatra (pilgrimage). There too ‘we’ had the ‘law’ of ‘no-laws.’ That meant that there was no law that people were forbidden to quarrel or fight with each other. That did not mean that they were given the freedom to fight and clash, nor were they forbidden. In fact, they were free to fight with anyone they chose. If they fought, then ‘we’ would just ‘see’ them fighting. But at night, they would wash off their mistakes by doing pratikraman in ‘our’ presence. They would ‘stain’ themselves and then they would wash it off. This is a pure vitarag path and, therefore, one has to do ‘cash’ (instant) pratikraman. Here there is no fortnightly or yearly pratikraman. Pratikraman is done the instant a mistake occurs. Questioner: There is this awareness that ‘I am Shuddhatma’ yet all that stuff from before...

In the jatra, some of them were Patels and some were Vaniks; they would fight amongst themselves. They would fight so much that others would come and tell me, ‘Dada, please separate them! They are using bad words and they are fighting very intensely.’ My reply was if they fought in My presence, then their problem would be resolved quickly and the poor people would not bind
