Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts (Full Version) Pratikraman: The Key That Resolves All Conflicts | Page 27

If intent is for total non-violence, karma’s account won’t bind;
Pratikraman frees from revenge, violence, attachment-abhorrence!
Freedom from all kinds of enmity is attained with pratikraman;
The other person may free you or not, now ‘he is’ responsible!
Do pratikraman for old faults and those faults are then disposed off;
When there’s no new karma drawn, where’s the question of the bond?
Past is gone forever and your future is in ‘Vyavasthit’s’ hands;
Remain in present all the time and hold on to ‘Gnani’s’ talks!
What do you do if fireworks blast off? Let the big ones go off;
Do pratikraman for bomb-like attacks; their impact will fizzle off!
If atikraman gets started while you do pratikraman;
Wash it patiently; you’ll never run out of this ‘soap’!
It is improper to form even a single wrong thought about the enemy;
He is under the realm of unfolding karma; and one who is alert will be free!
Lord Parshvanath had to pay off enmity’s debt over ten life times;
Enmity is disposed with equanimity with awareness of Akram Vignan!
Pure Soul has manifested, now, do Self-effort valiance;
Uproot spiritual blockades and opinions, and do their pratikraman!
Relative self forms opinions; direct light of the Self uproots them;
Call the opinions as incorrect and do divisions to uproot them!
Opinions are effective and cause others to have dislike for you;
That inevitably gives result by keeping you away from the Self!
Getting what you like or dislike depends on credit or debit karma;
See Self in the evidentiary nimits; pudgal is alien, under the realm of the
non-Self!
Pratikraman frees from opinions, there’s no approval in action;
Circumstances made him a thief; in your heart hold no accusation!
Freedom from opinions, is freedom from the root of faults;
Your previous protection of faults is why they had carried on!
