Pratikraman
ask you why you still fight after attaining Gnan. So what should
you tell him? With whatever intensity of intent (bhaav) the karmic
bondage occurred, it is with that same intent it will discharge.
Continue to ‘see’ that discharge. But there should be one thing
during the discharge and that is that no atikraman should occur
in the process. Do pratikraman if atikraman occurs.
Pratikraman is to be done by ‘Chandulal’ and not You. A
judge does not have to do anything; he has to make the accused
do it. The one who eats is the one who is guilty, and thus he has
to go to the toilet. The judge simply gives judgments. He will
never say, ‘The crime of the accused is my crime.’ What kind of
mistake is it if our mahatmas say that? This is very subtle talk.
The karmic stock (likened to garbage) has been filled in
the past life and it is precisely that which is discharging. One
becomes lighter because no new stock is being filled. Day by
day, his burden will feel lighter and then it will not be there
anymore.
When Will the ‘Tank’ Empty?
Questioner: Is moksha attained through pratikraman?
Is it necessary to do pratikraman now to attain moksha?
Dadashri: Pratikraman is necessary only if you do
atikraman. Otherwise, there is no need to do pratikraman. If
it is one’s nature to do atikraman, then he should do
pratikraman. Do you understand? And that too, how long does
that nature remain? No matter how mischievous a person is, that
‘tank’ will empty in eleven to fourteen years. After that it is all
empty. How long will a full tank last? A tank may be full now,
but how long will it last when it is not being replenished?
Nevertheless, it is better to do pratikraman when atikraman
occurs.
Is Interference Vyavasthit?
Interference (dakho) as ‘I am Chandulal’ occurs for you
