(pratyakhyan). Where there is no alochana, pratikraman and
pratyakhyan, there is no way to liberation (moksha).
‘We’ do not have any gross (sthool) or subtle (sookshma)
mistakes or faults. The Gnani has only subtler and most subtle
(sookshmatar and sookshmatam) mistakes, which do not cause
any difficulty to others. Even the most subtle of ‘our’ faults do
not escape ‘our’ awareness. Others will not know that ‘our’
fault has occurred.
‘We’ can also see your mistakes, but our vision is focused
on your pure Soul (Shuddhatma) and not on your unfolding
karma. We can see everyone’s mistakes, but ‘we’ are not affected
by them. That is why Kavi has written:
‘A mother never finds faults,
Dada too does not see anyone’s faults, mistakes’
‘Maa kadii khod kadhey nahi
Dadaney dosh koinaa dekhay nahi.’
‘We’ know your weaknesses, and weaknesses are always
bound to be there. Therefore, ‘our’ forgiveness is natural and
spontaneous (sahaj kshama). ‘We’ do not have to forgive you;
you receive ‘our’ forgiveness naturally and spontaneously.
Spontaneous forgiveness is an attribute of the ultimate state;
‘we’ have natural forgiveness for all. Not only that, but ‘we’ also
have a constant unwavering love for you. That which increases
and decreases is not love; it is attraction. ‘Our’ love does not
increase or decrease. It is pure love, the love of the absolute
Soul – the parmatma – the Self.
You should do ‘shoot-on-sight’ (instant) pratikraman for
any mistakes. ‘You’ should tell ‘Chandubhai,’ ‘Come on,
Chandubhai, do pratikraman.’ If Chandubhai says, ‘I am too
old to do it,’ You should tell him, “We’ will give you the energy.’
Then make him say, ‘I am full of infinite energy,’ and thus the
energy comes.
