( 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 And if such a claim is made inadvertently, it should be withdrawn, of course, by doing pratikraman!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.
