[3] These Are Not Lord Mahavir’s Pratikramans

Cash Pratikraman is Shoot-on-Sight
Otherwise, the Lord has said to continue doing
pratikraman.
Seeker: For endless lifetimes, one has been doing
pratikraman but he has not attained liberation.
Dadashri: That is because his pratikraman has not been
real. Liberation is possible only when true pratikraman and true
pratyakhyan are done. Pratikraman should be ‘shoot-on-sight.’
Now if I happen to utter even one negative word, there should
be instant pratikraman within; it should be done right away, in
the moment. Here nothing should remain pending; it is not
acceptable. This pratikraman cannot be allowed to sit stagnant.
That is why there has to be ‘shoot-on-sight’ pratikraman. What
kind of pratikraman do you do? Is it the ‘instant cash’ of
‘shoot-on-sight’ pratikraman or do you let them stagnate?
Seeker: For what circumstances and how should one do
the ‘cash-shoot-on-sight’ pratikraman?
Dadashri: Have you ever done ‘cash-pratikraman’?
Seeker: No. I have not. But I do read pratikraman
every day.
Pratikraman without Repentance
Dadashri: Do you recite the Navkar Mantra?
Seeker: Yes, I do recite the Navkar Mantra….
Dadashri: And you still have worries?
Seeker: I do four to five samayiks (samayik of Jain
tradition is different from the one prescribed by Dadashri) every
day.
(36)
Dadashri: Wow! You do four to five samayiks?
Seeker: And I do pratikraman both morning and night.
