here would recognize. ‘We’ too would know that a mistake
occurred. The subtle mistakes can also be recognized through
the intellect (buddhi). The subtler and subtlest mistakes can only
be identified in advanced stages of Gnan. Human beings cannot
see these subtler and subtlest mistakes. The celestial beings can
see them if they look through knowledge beyond the senses
(avadhi). However, these mistakes do not harm anyone. These
mistakes still remain within me (Gnani) and that too because of
the peculiarity of this current time cycle.
Blunders and mistakes
There are endless mistakes, not just one. One is bound by
his blunders and mistakes. The mistakes will not go away unless
his blunders are destroyed.
Questioner : What are blunders?
Dadashri : ‘I am Chandulal’ is the blunder. After ‘we’
give you the knowledge of the Self, your blunder will be
destroyed and only your mistakes will remain. You will see those
mistakes as gneya (that to be known). You become free from
whatever gneya you ‘see’ as gneya. Mistakes have layers just
like the layers of an onion. As you see a mistake, that layer of
the mistake is discarded. When all the layers are shed, that
particular mistake will be destroyed from its roots forever. Some
mistakes have only one layer and no more, and so ‘You’ only
have to ‘see’ them once and they will be destroyed. You have
to repeatedly see the ones with more layers and do pratikraman
in order to get rid of them completely. Then there are some
mistakes that are so sticky that they require repeated pratikraman.
People may ask if you keep making the same mistake over and
over and you will say yes, but you do not understand the reason
behind this. Mistakes are in a form of layers; these layers can be
endless. Therefore, if you do pratikraman for them whatever
mistakes that become visible, will be purified. Krupaludev has
