Pratikraman
So when ‘Chandubhai’ sits in a samayik, having stopped all the
attachment-abhorrence (raag-dwesh), then what will he do the
samayik on? He has not known the Self, nor does he understand
mithyatva (to believe the illusion as real, the belief, ‘I am
Chandulal’). The one who understands mithyatva is bound to
attain samkit or samyakatva (established in the right vision, ‘I
am the Self’). So when the sheth sits down in the samayik, he
does not know how to do anything else. So what does he do?
He sets himself a circle (boundary) and then, if he has any
thoughts about his shop, money, sex, etc., he will push them out
of that circle. Just as cows and dogs get entry into a closed
yard, he will drive out his thoughts and will not allow them back
in. They call that a samayik. Nevertheless, they are able to do
that samayik because there is no artadhyan or raudradhyan
while doing it.
Seeker: If there is no artadhyan or raudradhyan, then
that is considered equanimity (samata), is it not?
Dadashri: But artadhyan and raudradhyan do not go
away. They are always there. In order for them to go away, you
have to establish some discipline before doing samayik. You
have to say, ‘Dear Dada Bhagwan, I surrender this ‘Chandulal,’
my name, my body, my wrong beliefs, all to You. Please give me
vitarag bhaav (intent free of attachment and abhorrence) while
I am doing the samayik.’ It will work if you do it with such a
vidhi.
True Samayik Gives Moksha
Seeker: Can one attain moksha by doing the
dharmadhyan via samayik and pratikraman?
Dadashri: Yes, one can, but not with the samayik and
pratikraman that people do today. These ‘products’ are not
authentic. If the samayik was real, then doing just one samayik
will give you moksha. Right now, no one is to be blamed. It is
