Death
After this Gnan New Account for Mahavideh Kshetra
Due to the forces of karma, there may still be one or two
more births left for you. Let them be. But after that you will definitely
go to Simandhar Swami, the current and present Tirthankar living
in Mahavideh Kshetra. From now on all accounts you have
brought with you, no matter how strong and hard, will eventually
come to an end. There is no other way for them!
Questioner: Do the forces of karma diminish through
pratikraman?
Dadashri: Yes they do! And they will be concluded fast.
Pratikraman Leads to Final Freedom
The more mistakes you destroy through pratikraman, the
closer you come to liberation.
Questioner: Will these ‘sticky files’ (close relatives, like
a husband or a wife) stick to us again in the next life?
Dadashri: Why do we have to worry about the next birth?
Do enough pratikraman here only. Any free moment you have,
keep on doing pratikraman. You have to tell ‘Chandubhai’ (your
relative self) to do pratikraman for everyone in the family and for
any hurt that he has caused in his previous lives. He has to ask for
forgiveness for all the faults related to his attachment and
abhorrence, sex, anger, pride, and greed, done in this life and
numerous other lives. Everyday take one member of the family
and do pratikraman to them. Then do pratikraman towards all
the people around you. Do the same for the neighbors, with the
same awareness. Keep doing this and the burden of your load
will become lighter. It will not become lighter without your doing
so.
