cannot get moksha on credit.
One has to do pratikraman and pratyakhyan for any
atikraman done through the mind, body and speech. When one
does alochana, pratikraman and pratyakhyan, using ‘our’ face
as the medium of contemplation (niddidhyasan), he will erase
all mistakes in such a way that he will not repeat that atikraman.
It is all erased because of ‘our’ presence.
Atikraman is the worst himsa (violence) for which
pratikraman is required. The external gross himsa may or may
not have any consequences but it is the inner intent that dictates
the consequences of the actions. The inner intent has direct
bearing upon how the karma is bound, and hence this violence
(himsa) has to be washed for sure. Atikraman is violence. How
can people do pratikraman when they do not even understand
what himsa is? What kind of pratikraman will they do? If gross
or overt acts of himsa were considered himsa, then Emperor
Bharat would have never attained moksha. How many people
did he kill during the battles? Gross himsa is not an obstacle for
liberation. It is the subtle himsa (bhaav himsa i.e. the inner intent)
that obstructs moksha.
I have given the mahatmas something very special in their
hands. People will have to accept that despite their actions of
fighting physically on the outside, their inner right vision (samkit)
never leaves. There is a distinct and separate line of demarcation
between the streams of the Self and the non-self.
As for you (Dadashri addressing the seeker who has not
attained Self-realization) there is no separation. Without alochana,
pratikraman and pratyakhyan, the two streams cannot remain
separate. There is constant alochana, pratikraman and
pratyakhyan in the mahatmas. What is this like? As their external
activities are going on, the internal activity of alochana,
pratikraman and pratyakhyan are also going on simultaneously.
This should be going on constantly. Do you do alochana,
