Pratikraman
not to repeat such a mistake (pratyakhyan).’ ‘You’ should remain
the Knower-Seer of ‘Chandulal,’ and know how many
pratikramans ‘Chandulal’ did. You should know how well and
how many he did.
For the Mahatma, All These Are Discharge
Karma
Questioner: Dada, after attaining Gnan, what should one
do when sometimes bad inner intents (bhaav) arise? Why does
that occur, Dada?
Dadashri: That, too, is the doing of the karma. ‘You’ are
not the doer of that. You are needlessly getting perplexed by
saying that you are doing them.
Questioner: So then do I have to just continue ‘seeing’
when such bad bhaav arises?
Dadashri: When you say they are ‘bad,’ that in itself is
a danger. There is no such thing as ‘bad.’ If someone gets hurt,
tell ‘Chandulal,’ ‘Why did you hurt him, ‘Chandulal’? Now do
pratikraman for that.’ There is no such thing as good and bad
as far as God is concerned; all that is applicable in the society
and the worldly life.
Mahatmas have bhaav-abhaav (good-bad inner intents)
but they are settling karma (nikaali); discharging karma. They
do not represent bhaavkarma (charge karma). Anger-pride-
deceit-greed-attachment-abhorrence and good and bad intents
are all discharging (nikaali), settling karma. They need to be
settled with equanimity. These karmas settle with pratikraman.
They will not settle on their own.
