128 Aptavani-2 Questioner : How can one change artadhyan and raudradhyan? Dadashri : Having artadhyan and raudradhyan is the peculiarity of the karmas of the current era of this time cycle. However, whenever atikraman (aggression) occurs, do ‘cash’ (instant) pratikraman. You will have to do pratikraman anytime you do atikraman.

If you tell the person insulting you, “Sir, insult me again”, he will ask you, “Do I not have anything better to do?” He gives you only that which is coming to you. From the time you are born till the time you die, everything is compulsory (farajiyat); you are bound for undergoing the experience of all unfolding circumstances in your life. There are many who pass their ‘exams’ (life’s difficulties) and many who fail. Then there are those who do not even learn! Everything you have to experience is because of your karmic accounts from your past life. Who keeps a track of these accounts? There are tremendous energies within you that keep track and take
