Aptavani-6
Questioner: Sometimes my unyielding obstinacy (pakkad)
lasts for two to three days. The prakruti does not adjust at that
time and I am filled with remorse about that.
Dadashri: If your relative-self (prakruti) is hurting or
obstructing anyone, then you should make it do pratikraman.
The prakruti will show You all kinds of things.
Questioner: Suppose I do not adjust at that time and the
other person keeps hurting, then what should I do? Should I
adjust?
Dadashri: All you have to do is pratikraman only. Do
not adjust, and adjustment does not occur anyway. You cannot
adjust even if you want to. The ‘ticket (stamp) of adjustment’
will not stick. It will come off no matter how many times you try
sticking it. Therefore, whenever the other person is hurt or derives
pleasure from you, do pratikraman.
It is not written anywhere that you have to adjust if someone
continues to feel hurt. And one is not able to adjust that way
either. You should not have such intent (bhaav) or even an
opinion that you want to adjust.
Questioner: I did not understand this. Please explain it
again.
Dadashri: The opinion to adjust should not be there.
Why should you have an opinion of adjusting when there is no
possibility of adjusting? Instead, do pratikraman. That is the
best thing to do. It is not good to have the intent to adjust either.
That is all a worldly life. Whether it is in this form or that form,
it is all simply only worldly interaction (sansar). There is no duty
or religion (dharma) or the Self (Atma) in it.
Questioner: When the file has not been settled with
equanimity sambhave nikaal, the other person feels hurt.
(Sambhave nikaal is to settle all karmic accounts with
equanimity).
