Pratikraman
Doing alochana-pratikraman-pratyakhyan is to review
the entire day. The more mistakes you ‘see,’ that much is the
profit. That many pratikraman need to be done.
The Mistake of Prakruti Prevents Pratikraman
Questioner: Is it the fault of the prakruti that one is not
able to do pratikraman, or is it due to some obstacle-causing
karma (antaray karma)?
Dadashri: It is the prakruti’s (non-Self’s) fault. This is
not prevalent in all situations. Sometimes this occurs and
sometimes it does not. It does not matter if pratikraman is not
done because of the mistake of prakruti, but the main thing is
your inner intent (bhaav). All You have to do is to ‘see’ your
intention and nothing else. Everything else is not to be ‘seen.’ Do
you wish to do pratikraman?
Questioner: Yes, absolutely.
Dadashri: In spite of this bhaav, if you are not able to
do pratikraman, then it is the fault of the prakruti. ‘You’ are
not liable for such a fault. Sometimes the prakruti will speak the
sentences of the pratikraman vidhi and sometimes it will not.
It is like a gramophone; the record may or may not play. That
is not considered the karma of obstruction.
