[ 25 ] Understanding the Principles of Pratikraman 521
( parmanus ) do not become pure , so what occurs with pratikraman ? ( 492 )
Dadashri : The parmanus only become pure through ‘ seeing ’ them . The effect of the hurt caused will remain , and so when you do pratikraman , it will be washed away . As much as possible , one should not be the cause ( nimit ) of that hurt .
Questioner : Can it be said that it becomes pure with pratikraman ?
Dadashri : You may in general gross terms .
Pratikraman Has Been Inserted in Akram Vignan
Questioner : One life is to be spent by constantly ‘ seeing .’ Is the ‘ seeing ’ to be done while doing pratikraman ?
Dadashri : You should be constantly aware that ‘ I am not doing anything at all .’ If this remains continuously , then there is no need for you to do pratikraman . ‘ We ’ have the constant , continuous awareness . ‘ We ’ tell you what ‘ we ’ experience . After attaining the Gnan , ‘ we ’ constantly experience that .
Nevertheless , pratikraman is not at all necessary in this Gnan . This Gnan is the ultimate kind where pratikraman does not exist at all . But here , ‘ we ’ graduate even the one who is at the level of the fourth grade . So then what happens to all those skipped middle grades ? So ‘ we ’ have added pratikraman and taken on the responsibility . Otherwise , there is no pratikraman in this Gnan ; nevertheless , it has been put in the middle at ‘ our ’ own liability .
Except for the Shuddhatma , everything else is garbage . In that , one is kraman and the other is atikraman . Everything other than the Shuddhatma are mistakes and pratikraman has to be done for them .
