pratikraman. One should perform alochana, pratikraman and
pratyakhyan with Dada as the witness, then the faults will be
erased. Do pratikraman again, if you make the mistake again.
Still, people will say, “He keeps making the same mistake over
and over again and keeps doing pratikraman.” Yes that verily is
called sansar (the worldly life).
A red flag ? Then stop !
If someone shows you a red flag (an objection), the fault
is yours. The world is not crooked; people wave a red flag
because of your own mistakes. Therefore you should ask them,
“Pardon me, did I do something wrong?” If someone tells me,
“You were going to leave after ten days. Why are you leaving
after only seven?” ‘We’ would clarify and explain ‘our’ situation
to him and ‘we’ would leave only when he shows ‘us’ a green
flag. Will you not have to accept your mistakes and destroy
them? If no one else breaks those mistakes, you will have to do
it yourself, will you not? No one shows ‘us’ a red flag and if they
do, ‘we’ would inquire, “What is the matter? Why are you
showing ‘us’ a red flag?” One gets upset when someone shows
him a red flag. He will react, “Are you stupid or what? Why do
you have to ruin things?” If someone shows you a red flag, it
means there is something there. Even a small child can scold
‘us’. People generally get angry with those who show them red
flags; they call them stupid and all kinds of names. As if they are
a bag full of sense! No one would pay a dime for their sense!
‘We’ have always used less intelligence (buddhi) from the
beginning. Gnani Purush is considered abuddha (without
buddhi; without ‘intellect’). People show you red flags because
of your own mistakes. Once you explain everything to them,
they will let you go.
True relative religion
‘We’ will give the people of this world a very simple
religious path. ‘We’ will not give them chaos of complex rituals.
