Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts (Full Version) Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts | Page 90

[2] Every Religion Supports Pratikraman 31 Dadashri: You do that, don’t you? That is pratikraman. The greatest pratikraman lies in the Nine Kalams of Dada Bhagwan. That pratikraman is such that it can lead to the salvation of the whole world. Questioner: Is it true that no matter what wrongdoing (paap) is in the vessel of repentance, it... Dadashri: It will become lighter due to repentance. Questioner: Does it not burn to ashes? Dadashri: It will be burned completely. Many such paap will be burned; they will come to an end. The ‘soap’ of repentance is such that it will apply to all kinds of ‘clothes.’ Questioner: And when it is done in Your presence, what will remain? Dadashri: You will be blessed. Therefore, there is no other ‘soap’ as the ‘soap’ of repentance in this world. Repentance Reduces Karmic Liability of Karma Questioner: The best way to destroy paap is through repentance. That is a wonderful thing. That is what the great saints have said in the Puranas (ancient Hindu scriptures). Is it possible for a killer to be forgiven if he repents after killing someone? (30) Dadashri: If he takes pleasure in the killing, then if his sentence, karma effect, were to be for a year, it would become three years. And when he regrets and repents his actions, his one year sentence would be reduced to six months. The karma liability of any wrong actions will increase threefold if you take pleasure in it. But if you repent for them, your liability will be reduced. And if you rejoice after doing a good deed, then others will get increased benefit.
