Pratikraman
Dadashri: For you who have taken this Gnan of the Self,
to see mistakes in others is an example of subtler conflict.
Questioner: So when I look at mistakes of someone
else, it is subtler conflict?
Dadashri: No, not like that! You have arrived at a decision
that people are flawless (nirdosh); they are without mistakes
but, despite this, if you happen to see mistakes in someone, that
is subtler conflict. You should be able to see those mistakes of
yours (You should be able to see that you (file one) are seeing
mistakes) because he is a pure Self and the mistake is separate.
Questioner: Who is the one that sees the mistake?
Dadashri: The seer of the mistake (‘Chandulal,’ the
intellect).
Questioner: But that is not the mind seeing the mistake.
That phenomenon is not in the mental layer.
Dadashri: Whatever layer it is in; it sees the mistake.
Questioner: So is all that the mental conflict that we have
talked about?
Dadashri: All that belongs to subtle (sookshma) conflict.
Questioner: So what is the difference between the two?
Dadashri: This all goes beyond the realm of the mind.
Questioner: The mental conflict and those mistakes…
Dadashri: They are not mental; they are not of the mind.
Questioner: Does that mean when there is a subtler
conflict occurring, a subtle conflict is also present?
Dadashri: You do not have to be concerned about that.
Subtle is different. The subtler is different. The subtler is the
ultimate stage.
