within if he were to repeat the same mistake. People in general
keep multiplying their faults.
Have you witnessed a real pratikraman where your fault
has gone or decreased?
Questioner: Only here. Nowhere else.
Dadashri: Alochana, pratikraman and pratyakhyan, is
the only tool for the path of moksha. There is no other tool in
this world. The other fact is that this tool will become very
effective after receiving the Gnan from the Gnani Purush.
Thereafter this tool of alochana, pratikraman and pratyakhyan
will be helpful.
If pratikraman is done before attaining Gnan, then the
faults will become weak. But the level of pratikraman needed
will not remain; one needs awareness for that.
After taking Gnan, you will be able to know that a mistake
(dosh) has occurred. Only then will you be able to do
pratikraman. Until then, pratikraman cannot take place. After
taking this Gnan, an awakened awareness (jagruti) will prevail
whereby you will be able to tell right away that atikraman has
taken place; you will come to know this right away. Once you
know you made a mistake, you will do pratikraman right away.
This process will continue to take place systematically. Once
pratikraman takes place, those mistakes get erased. Once the
mistakes are erased, the other person will not feel any negativity
or aversion towards you. Otherwise, when you meet the other
person again, there will be a sense of separation with him. Does
such a separation (bheda) not occur when that happens?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Even at your workplace, when atikraman
occurs with someone and you do pratikraman for it, his mind
will become one with you; otherwise it will not.
