Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts (Full Version) Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts | Page 16

And yet He says ‘is’ to what ‘is’; and ‘isn’t’ to what ‘isn’t’;
How can a true Gnani say to what ‘is’ as what ‘isn’t’?
In the Vision the world is flawless but the speech finds the faults;
Gnani Himself does pratikraman for pain caused by truth!
Fault is seen because of fault in the self; purify your vision there;
Or else, kashays will arise, when you fight for relative truth!
Accepted by plaintiff and defendant, is the speech of Vitarags;
Call it open Saraswati; their ego-less words are accepted by all!
Talk that doesn’t include pure Soul is false, that’s for sure;
Pratikraman for ‘I am Chandu’, a measure of true understanding for sure!
Forcing the medicine on patient, the doctor may appear harsh;
Ailment may get cured or not, do pratikraman for being harsh!
‘Dada’ is doctor of religion; He swings the whip at the ascetics;
Elegance of Gnani’s silence, flows as compassion towards the wrong!
Having missed non-violent speech, Gnani does pratikraman;
Faulty it is in speech, flawless in His vision!
Tirthankars’ speech is always accepted by all totally and completely;
Fourteenth moon is ‘Akram Gnani’, difference in opinion and speech!
Faulty was the perverse vision; ‘Dada’ charged such a speech;
Flawless is today’s vision and yet flows out such a speech!
Guru says, ‘I am untouched’ but is exposed when called a ‘fool’;
He is touched and he reacts, is that religion a gymnast’s pool?
Vows-chants-penance and discipline in practice give worldly rewards;
They are not needed for liberation; there, only pratikraman works!
Ascetics should routinely ask for forgiveness an hour a day;
It’s true religion even if it is done in mind and not in person!
True religions are only two, Pratikraman and absence of kashays;
Rest is not necessary, world hasn’t followed ‘this’ core-religion!
When you follow Gnani’s words, you’ll reach liberation-gate;
Go ahead, Dada is responsible for you, don’t miss at any rate!
