Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts (Full Version) Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts | Page 15

Those won’t have proper result, its’ true value is illusory;
Believed as Self’s benefit; its’ a loss and not a victory!
To recite like a parrot is effect-dravya pratikraman;
‘It shouldn’t be so’ intent- is called as bhaav-pratikraman!
If chain of life after life mistakes isn’t broken, it isn’t ‘Samvatsari’ of Mahavir;
They’re ineffective pratikramans and they disgrace Lord Mahavir!
Please forgive me readers but my heart is getting filled;
I do pratikraman for the strong words that were scribed!
Action with ‘I am the doer’ casts more veils of illusion, eludes liberation;
Chanting in AM and PM he drinks the ointment, meant to be applied!
Vows of Kramic path to eat no root vegetables or at night;
Taken without understanding, vows won’t help in Liberation!
Vows can be taken for only faults whose pratikraman was done;
Explanation of proper pratikraman, Akram Vignan has done!
To cleanse the blemish, ascetics apply soap on the table;
Followers scrub the floor; world laughs at this!
They take vows to renounce and slowly they can quit it;
But vow to renounce what is quit, how can one deal with such understanding?
For all atikramans done through acts, pratikraman must be done in Kramic;
In Akram Path, body is separate from the Self; no action will touch!
Credit and debit karma get cleansed by doing pratikraman;
For moksha, both types of karma are renounced and the Self is acquired!
Without awareness, pratikraman ‘shoot-on-sight’ can’t be done;
After ‘Gnani’ awakens the Self, the kite string stays in hand!
Pratikraman in ignorant state binds less sins;
After Self-vision, with awareness, it is done in the true form!
Wash and wear clothes daily, write account book daily;
When pratikraman done yearly then; why not wash clothes yearly?
Gnani too, after scolding someone, does pratikraman right away;
This is just natural evidence and here, no one’s fault is at play!
