Pratikraman
Questioner: I do not even know all the atikramans I
have done in this life.
Dadashri: You will be able to ‘see’ in detail all the
atikramans you have done in this life, if You make it a point that
you want to track it all down in a samayik. Then you will be
able to find it very precisely.
Today, do one samayik.
Questioner: Yes, how should I do the samayik?
Dadashri: Yes. From the time you were young up until
now, whomever you have made mistakes with, made mistakes
of violence (himsa) with any living being, whomever you have
hurt, whomever you have spoken harshly to and hurt; these are
all mistakes related to himsa (violence).
Then ‘see’ mistakes about lying, cheating, mistakes of
sexual nature, attachment to things and acquisitiveness
(parigraha). Whatever mistakes of this nature you have
committed, recall all these mistakes, bow to Simandhar Swami
or Dada Bhagwan, and ask for forgiveness. Do this much; can
you do that much?
Questioner: I can. However many I am able to remember,
I will.
Dadashri: Do them for as long as you can recall these
mistakes; continue doing pratikraman for them. The one who
has the desire to see his own mistakes will not refrain from
‘seeing’ them. In the Lord’s path, straightforwardness is the
easy path to liberation. It is the highest path. If a person does
not become straightforward, then he is not in the Lord’s path.
