Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts (Full Version) Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts | Page 88

[2] Every Religion Supports Pratikraman 29 But I do bhaav-pratikraman (intent pratikraman). Dadashri: What kind of bhaav-pratikraman do you do? Seeker: If I feel I made a mistake, then I repent for it with the Soul as the witness. Dadashri: Is that so! How many times a day does this occur? Seeker: Four or five times. I do it at night. Dadashri: That much of your actions go towards dharmadhyan (absence of adverse internal meditation). If you are doing what you have just said, then it goes into dharmadhyan. Seeker: How do I repent for any wrongdoing (paap)? Is the method that I use the right one? Dadashri: Whatever it may be, it is not complete, but some dharmadhyan occurs with that. What is of importance is your intent. Seeker: But should I do it or not? (28) Dadashri: Whatever you are doing at the moment is fine, but learn the new way that I teach you. But for now, whatever you are doing is fine. Seeker: The poet, Kalapi, has said: ‘Yes, repentance; the pure abundant stream is flowing from the heaven. By jumping in it, the sinner becomes virtuous.’ What do you have to say about that? Dadashri: That is for the sinners at the gross and superficial level. That is for wrong actions at the gross level and to repent for them.
