Pratikraman
Seeker: Is there awareness of the Self in that?
Dadashri: No. There is no awareness of the Self in it;
there is worldly awareness. A straightforward (sarad) person
will not like all this wrongdoing and, therefore, he repents. People
of every religion will repent just the way you do.
Seeker: That will bring purity in worldly interactions, will
it not?
Dadashri: No, pratikraman is necessary for that.
Nine Kalams, the Highest Pratikraman
Questioner: Is there any other solution for getting rid of
wrongdoing (paap), other than repenting?
Dadashri: There is no other solution, other than repenting,
to get rid of any hurt caused through thoughts, speech and acts
(paap). What is all this wrong doing (paap)? What do we
consider as paap? Right now we are all sitting here and there
is no problem with that. Then if someone says, ‘Why do you
come late?’ that is called atikraman. When you say anything
that anyone does not like, it is considered atikraman.
The Lord has said to do pratikraman for such atikraman.
So what do you have to do pratikraman for? Repent for that
which others do not like and that which hurts them. You don’t
have to do it for that which they like.
You have to repent for that. Do you do that?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Do you do pratikraman in the name of Dada
Bhagwan or not?
Questioner: That book you gave us! I do it from that. I
do the Nine Kalams (The nine highest intents/bhaavna for the
one on the path of liberation).
