to explain things to them and make them understand. Will it not
create bondage if you hit your children and neglect to do
pratikraman? Should you not do pratikraman? It is the negative
trait of the prakruti that makes one beat a child. Kashays
(passions) of anger, pride, illusion and greed cause one to hit a
child. But having done so, if one recalls my words that ‘Dadashri
has said atikraman can be cleansed if pratikraman is done right
away’, then it is possible to cleanse mistakes right away. With
dharmadhyan you can get rid of the karmas that are already
bound and not bind any new ones. Moksha is attained only with
shukladhyan, which can be attained only from the Gnani Purush.
The vitarags have said that there is no shukladhyan in the current
era of this time cycle. But this is the Akram path, an exceptional
path and that is why ‘we’ give you shukladhyan within an hour.
Otherwise we cannot even begin to talk about shukladhyan. If
one does attain shukladhyan then his work is done.

brought a daughter-in-law in her account of karma. Everything
in this world is temporary and it is all an illusion. Nothing in the
world is real, and yet people believe the relative as being the

continues to love you even if you insult him or call him names.
Then you should realize that he is really your son. But if you
were to insult him for just one hour, he will be provoked to hit
you. A father once went too far with his son, and in a matter of
two hours the son filed a legal suit against him. The son even told
his lawyer, “I will pay you extra 300 Rupees if you disgrace my
father in the court in front of everyone.” This world is such that
no one will stand by you during difficult times. Therefore, you
should use God as your sole friend and solace and no one else.
Use God for your support and nothing else.
