The vibrations of even the slightest adverse thought about
another person will reach that person and give results. Here
doing ‘shoot-on-sight’ pratikraman will prevent those vibrations
from reaching that person, or else erases the vibrations that may

opposite opinion. To erase the opinion, that someone is a thief,
one has to say that he is an honest and respected man and
ultimately, the vision that he is really ‘pure Soul’ (Shuddhatma)
has to be applied!
Opinion is the reason (cause) for speech with the link of
continual hurt (tantili vani—speech associated with lingering

What hinders the state of the infinite bliss of the Self, after
Self-realization in Akram Vignan? – Opinion! Once two to five
major opinions are gone, a state of liberation prevails!
The seed (of karma) is sown, not by action (kriya), but
by motive (hetu–intention behind action); by opinions! The only
opinions worthy of welcome are those for celibacy
(brahmacharya), and for the fact that the physical body is the
greatest of deceivers (dago)! Opinion is made up of subatomic
