Pratikraman
not occur; it does not allow artadhyan and raudradhyan to
occur. And whatever artadhyan and raudradhyan you see is
not Your dhyan; it is simply a suffocation of sorts. Truly they can
never occur! There is no artadhyan or raudradhyan if there is
Atmagnan. And where there is a presence of artadhyan and
raudradhyan, there is no Atmagnan there. There can be no
contradiction in this matter.
There is dharmadhyan in the physical self and
shukladhyan in the Self. But when that suffocation comes, you
think that artadhyan and raudradhyan are occurring. And this
is why You have to say, ‘Why did you do atikraman? So now
do pratikraman!’
(228)
There can never be artadhyan and raudradhyan where
there is Atmagnan. With artadhyan and raudradhyan one will
never be able to attain the Self. Now whatever artadhyan and
raudradhyan there seems to be is merely suffocation. Who can
have artadhyan and raudradhyan? The answer is, it occurs to
the living ego, ‘I am Chandulal.’ I have taken that living ego
away, leaving behind only the lifeless ego (discharging ego). That
discharging ego does not experience any artadhyan or
raudradhyan. That which is dead cannot move nor do anything
anew.
Therefore, there is nothing complicated, just understand it.
There is nothing to it if you understand what I am saying.
The Gnan I have given to you is such that it keeps working
on its own. Understand it completely in detail. And if you still do
not understand it, then do pratikraman repeatedly. That is why
those who do not understand it have been asked to do
pratikraman. Nothing at all happens to the one who understands
Akram Vignan. Whatever occurs, it is happening only to the
external self (the non-Self), and one feels in the mind that it is
happening to him. Truly, it is all happening to the external part
(the non-Self).
