Questioner: All these expert ladies have come together
and they are being deceitful towards each other. Then they
immediately do pratikraman by open confession to each other.
The deceit occurs but they immediately recognize that they have

let such mistakes occur at all.
Dadashri: No, that will not work. (Dada addressing the

Questioner: If one does true pratikraman, then that
mistake should not occur again.
Dadashri: No, you cannot say that. There are some
mistakes that have fifty to a hundred layers.
Questioner: Is there not some kind of a strong
pratikraman which can destroy all the layers in one go?
Dadashri: No, that cannot occur.
Questioner: Dada, why don’t You ‘do’ Akram
pratikraman?
Dadashri: You cannot eat with both your hands. You
have to eat with just one hand. Everything is good in proportion.
If you have had a fever that lasts a few days, will taking a whole

Questioner: No, it will not work.
Dadashri: On the contrary, it will make it worse.
Everything is good if it is in proportion. Then it will work.
