Aptavani-5
Atikraman occurs maybe once or twice in an hour; you have

atikraman? So, now as a neighbor You have to say,
‘Chandubhai, do pratikraman’.
Do lots of pratikraman. Whoever is in your circle (of
acquaintance), fifty or hundred people or so, whomever you
have harassed, abused; take an hour to do pratikraman when
you are not doing anything. In your free time, identify every
individual (you have hurt) and do his or her pratikraman. Will
you not have to erase all the hurt you have caused others?
Thereafter the Gnan will manifest.
Questioner: But Dada, I have only harassed those who
have harassed me.
Dadashri: Whoever has abused you will have to pay for
his actions; you are not responsible for that. The one who has
abused you has no awareness of his liabilities and responsibility.
He is not aware of the consequences. He is enjoying himself
eating wonderful food but in his next life he will have to eat
animal fodder.

Dadashri: The benefits of the ego are where people get
to marry their children off; wander around as fathers and
