pratikramans a day.
Questioner: That is all bhaav-pratikraman
(pratikraman of inner intent, at the causal level). It is not possible
to do that many kriya-pratikraman (pratikraman through ritual,
at the effect level), is it?
Dadashri: No, there can never be pratikraman in kriya
(action, discharge; effect). For pratikraman, you have to have
bhaav-pratikraman; pratikraman is an internal process. There
is no action-oriented pratikraman. Kriya-pratikraman is a
corpse, a corpse! In bhaav-pratikraman, time is not wasted in
wrong places or unworthy matters and samayik is done. The
benefit one gets of samayik is that the mind remains good.
Questioner: Is that nirjara (karmic discharge) or not?
Dadashri: Nirjara is constantly occurring. Nirjara is going
on for every living being but your inner intent (bhaav) that you
want to do pratikraman is good. Because that inner intent is
good, the karmic discharge (nirjara) will also be good. But
pratikraman has to be the ‘shoot-on-sight’ kind.
All these people here (mahatmas) do fifty to a hundred
pratikramans a day. Nothing can ever be achieved without
pratikraman. And the pratikraman practiced elsewhere is
