Pratikraman
bad thoughts, even if they are crooked; if it spoils your intellect,
You are to simply ‘see’ all that. Whatever ‘work’ the mind and
the intellect are doing, there is a problem; You have to keep
‘seeing’ that.
This is the most straightforward path to moksha, the easiest
moksha!
Questioner: Does ‘continue seeing’ mean that I should
agree with what it shows?
Dadashri: The one who ‘sees’ is never in any kind of
agreement with it. The ‘Seer’ who is continuously ‘seeing’ cannot
be one with what is being ‘seen’. Does a man get burned by
watching a bonfire?
Questioner: No, he does not.
Dadashri: Even if there is a huge bonfire, the eyes ‘see’
…but what does it matter to the eyes?
Questioner: But, Dada, the interference (dakho) occurs
and this hurts someone; do I not have to do pratikraman for
it?
Dadashri: You have to do pratikraman for that. Why
did you do atikraman? You should not do anything that hurts
others.
Questioner: My daughter does pratikraman every day,
and yet her internal state does not improve.
Dadashri: It is because of a huge karmic stock filled in
the past life. Pratikraman is itself the real inner effort
(purusharth).
Questioner: Dada, are we not taking protection by
blaming the huge karmic stock?
Dadashri: No, no. There is no protection in this at all.
The whole world does not do pratikraman. They push others
