PREFACE
Please note that Pujya Dr. Niruben Amin wrote the
entire preface of the Pratikraman Book in poetry form in
couplets. The translation of this in English is devoid of the
rhyming words in many places. Here is the message of the
preface is preserved as a preference over the rhyming words.
PART 1
PRATIKRAMAN
Unity of mind speech and body, is the worthy goal of life;
When that is broken, Akram Vignani’s pratikraman is the solution in life!
Dada shows the proper method of doing pratikraman;
Connect directly with the Soul of the other, with ‘Dada Bhagwan’ as the
witness!
Announce the faults in your heart, ask for forgiveness, repent heartily;
Decide that ‘I won’t repeat it’, then the faults are cleansed simply!
Doing good karma is religion, doing bad karma is non-religion;
Beyond religion and non-religion, lies Self-religion!
Good karma gives credit and this brings the result as happiness;
Bad karma gives debit and this brings the result as unhappiness!
When ‘credit-debit’ is zero, Self-bliss prevails;
The first two increase worldly entanglements, the third brings Liberation!
With the ‘Lord within—Dada Bhagwan’ as witness, repentance is done heartily;
This science becomes effective, for every ailment there is a remedy!
While eating-drinking, bathing-walking, speaking-laughing;
If no one is hurt, these natural interactions are called ‘kraman’!
All that cause hurt to others through attachment-abhorrence, are atikraman;
To turn back from these is known as the process of pratikraman!
Anger-pride-deceit and greed, all are nothing but atikraman;
They all go away instantly, when for them you do pratikraman!
