Release from Bondage of Inner Enemies
Pratikraman Whenever Abhorrence Arises
This is all worldly misery. Whatever thoughts you have
about him, do pratikraman for that repeatedly. For any thoughts
that may occur on a given day, keep doing pratikraman, that
is all. Erase them all immediately. With pratikraman, all your
attacking thoughts will cease. Then the mind will not have any
abhorrence. When the mind becomes irritated with someone, it
will stop if you do pratikraman in his name.

Questioner: Should pratikraman be done in the mind,
by reading or by saying it?
Dadashri: No, just within the mind. You can do it in the
mind, you can say it out loud, or in any other way, such as, ‘I
have made some mistake towards you and for that I am asking
for Your forgiveness.’ It will do even if you say it in your mind.
Do pratikraman for the mental attack; that is all. People of a
lower socio-economic class physically hit others, whereas we
do it with words. Or else people hurt others with their minds.
Do people hit others with words or not?
Questioner: Yes, they do.
Dadashri: The ladies will say, ‘His words hurt me so
badly that they are etched in my heart!’ And even hurting others
with the mind, it is all of the same family.
Questioner: ‘With the mind’ means without saying
anything?
