( pratikraman ), as shown by the Gnani Purush , and clear it away .
If we caused pain to someone and if that person is suffering from that pain here in this world , is it possible for us to attain final liberation ? The one who is in pain will inflict pain upon others . Can someone in pain attain final liberation ? Therefore , get up – wake up – and come to a decision that , ‘ From today onward I don ’ t want to cause any hurt whatsoever to any living being in this world .’ Then You will see final liberation coming toward You . If others give you pain , You are not to see that . Others have that freedom . How can we take away their freedom ?
On the one hand , one wants to be declared free of guilt in the court of the world and on the other hand , one wants to continue his claim of , ‘ Why did he do this to me ? Why did he say that to me ?’ How can anyone become free this way ? And if such a claim is made inadvertently , it should be withdrawn , of course , by doing pratikraman !
Your interactions with your wife are to be completed by seeing the supreme Soul in her and not by becoming an ascetic ( by renouncing the worldly life ). Interactions of the worldly life are simply worldly in nature , but to see the pure Self in her is really the pure awareness of the Self . This is shuddha upayog .
Don ’ t you think the innumerable mistakes that one continues to commit are caught in the Gnani ’ s vision ? Of course , they are caught in his vision ; however , his awareness is only on the Self within us . Therefore , there is no result of attachmentabhorrence ( raag-dwesh ) in the Gnani .
Our internal results from the effects of karma change , and that is why the internal results in others are disrupted and change . The Gnani ’ s internal effects ( results ) never change under any circumstances .
