being. Because of the change in our vibrations (that we emit due
to pratikraman), there is an effect on the tiger. As long as we
hold that ‘the tiger is a savage animal,’ it will remain savage, and
if in our belief and vision there is ‘the tiger is pure Soul,’ the tiger
is verily a ‘pure Soul.’
When our interference stops, when such vibrations stop,
no one will be out there to send us any vibrations. If we
inadvertently happen to send out vibrations due to old habits,
they can be washed away with pratikraman; that verily is
purusharth - spiritual effort!
How can the wedge of karma be fractured? ‘By settling
all files with equanimity.’ The moment you see a ‘file’ (everyone
and everything that is the non-Self), You should make a decision
of, ‘I must settle with equanimity,’ then everything will get
arranged accordingly. And in case it happens to be a ‘sticky
(difficult) file,’ and a settlement of that file is not done despite
this decision, then You are not liable; here ‘scientific circumstantial
evidence’ is responsible.
Why is a “sticky” file ‘sticky’? It is because you have
made it so. Instead of seeing the ‘sticky character’ of the sticky
file, if you see the sticky nature of your own file (your relative-
self), the manner of seeing a file will change!
Only after becoming the Self (purush – the Atma;
enlightened), can one take a picture of the nature of the self
(prakruti). How can a photo be taken with the camera of the
ego? For that you need the camera of the Self.
The entity that gets puzzled is not the Self. The belief,
‘This is mine,’ is what makes mistakes. We are to only ‘see’ the
self. We are not to call it ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ Even if the prakruti
(the non-Self) attempts to get stuck to You a million times, your
own supreme Self is such that it can never happen. No
experiment or event of the universe can soil the purity of the
Self. That is who we are!
