Pratikraman
Whether we do pratikraman for it or not; it would not make
any difference, would it?
Dadashri: You can get by with that, but if you want great
benefit, then you should do this pratikraman. Do you want to
do what will just work or do you want to do more?
Questioner: It is not the question of doing it or not. I am
simply asking scientifically.
(126)
Dadashri: Everything is a discharge for sure, but wherever
atikraman takes place, you should think upon it. Otherwise, it
will remain as part of your nature. You are against atikraman;
this much should be decided upon. You should make the decision
that you are not in agreement with it.
Questioner: If we have already decided that we are not
in agreement with it, then pratikraman has to be done only in
our minds, right?
Dadashri: Yes, only in your mind. Everything has to be
done internally, in your mind only. You do not have to say
anything aloud. If you are opposed to it, you may not do
pratikraman but if you say, ‘I do not like it,’ even then it is
more than enough. Then you have become free from it. You
should not get stuck in those problems.
Questioner: When we do pratikraman, does that mean
we are resorting to the Kramic path, a bit?
Dadashri: This is not to enter the Kramic path. We are
in opposition to such a nature of atikraman. Until we decide
this, such a nature will remain with us. That is how subtle this
talk is. You will be blessed if you understand it. If you happen
to swear at someone, it is not a problem, but should you not at
least oppose the action of swearing?
Questioner: We may do the pratikraman, but the other
person is bound to bind more karma, is he not?
