Pratikraman
know about this, can he? It does not matter if he is not Self-
realized; even then, the mirror samayik can give great benefits.
Samayik of Scolding
You should go to your room and say to ‘Chandubhai’,
‘Chandubhai, who do you think you are? Take your left hand
and slap your right cheek!’ A young man could not get rid of his
anger, so I told him, ‘Scold him!’ The poor man would do
pratikraman all day, but still he would not listen to the
pratikraman. He would go back to the way he was. So I told
him to go up to the terrace and scold him. So He scolded his
file number one, ‘Who do you think you are?’ He scolded him
so hard that he burst out crying. ‘He’ did the scolding and he
began to cry and the Self became separate. The Self separates
when You do such scolding.
(550)
So you should go into your room and scold ‘Chandubhai.’
You are to do this scolding samayik only after taking ‘our’
Agna (after taking Dada’s permission). Only then will pragnya
(energy of the Self that arises in Gnan Vidhi) remain, otherwise
something else will latch on and cause problems.
Questioner: The process of doing samayik in the mirror
and talking to the prakruti seems good when You show us; and
it lasts for two to three days but then it becomes weak.
Dadashri: When weakness arises, then you should start
that process all over again. Once it becomes old, all kinds of
weakness will come. The nature of the pudgal is that once it
gets old, it loses interest and energy. You have to start by making
it new.
Questioner: So I am not able to accomplish the work
through this process as I ought to, and the process ends midway.
Dadashri: That is how it will be accomplished gradually;
it cannot occur all of a sudden.
