Once that attraction does occur, every single word of
such a person will become divine.
Why have we had to suffer the wanderings for infinite
lives? It is because of atkan! Because one did not have the bliss
of the Self, he sank into the atkan of pleasures of the flesh.
These impediments can be broken down by the grace of the
Gnani Purush and, thereafter, by one’s own tremendous spiritual
effort (parakram is extraordinary spiritual effort). Infinite bliss
prevails when this happens! If the blockade is not rooted out, it
will root us out away from the Gnan and even from the ‘Gnani.’
When someone’s shadow is cast on us, his disease will
enter into us. No matter how beautiful the virtues of another
person may seem to be, after all, they are the virtues of the
relative-self (prakruti) only! The virtues of prakruti will come
to an end or are subject to deformation. An Alfonso mango may
look beautiful but it will stink when it rots!
There should be instant repentance whenever sexual
attraction arises. And there should be the request from the pure
Soul of that person for whom the attraction arose for; ‘Grant me
the energy to be free from these thoughts of sexuality.’ Because
of sexuality through thoughts, speech and acts, an account of
vengeance (veyr) is created. This account will ruin many
lifetimes.
Pratikraman is the process of recalling, repenting and
asking for forgiveness with the avowal to not repeat the act of
aggression through thoughts, speech or action, as shown by the
Gnani Purush, Dadashri. At first, pratikraman will stop
aggression (atikraman) and break your wrong intentions. Later,
it reaches the person you have hurt, however, you are not to see
whether it reaches him or not. All this is for you only!
If pratikraman is done for a tiger, the tiger will do what
we tell it. There is no difference between a tiger and a human
