Pratikraman
Dadashri: It will not remain for long. You will just think
about it and then you will become free; you will become free by
simply thinking about it.
Questioner: In the scriptures, one is told to put a limit to
arambha-parigraha (to move out of the confines of that which
is good and beneficial). So what is the difference between one
placing a limit or not placing it? Does it make a difference if one
does or does not place a limit?
Dadashri: If he puts a limit, then the consequences of
karma will be less. If he does that in this life, then the karma
effect will be less in the next life. In doing this, one will gradually
climb higher spiritually.
Questioner: Is it like that samayik?
Dadashri: Samayik means without any arambha, without
any involvement of mind, speech or body. To become free from
arambha-parigraha (being ‘Chandulal’), i.e., to be the Self for
an hour, is samayik.
Who Does Such A Samayik?
Seeker: When a person is doing a samayik, then even
if there is an earthquake, he should not leave his samayik, should
he?
Dadashri: Who does such a samayik? No one would
do such a samayik, would he?
So samayik in this sense is a process to make the body

will get more material wealth. How can wealth come to the one
who cannot sit still for even a minute? So that samayik is not
true samayik.

Enlightened One
That which people have believed to be the soul (atma) is
