Pratikraman
Dadashri: For what? Why worry about the next life?
You should do all the pratikramans in this very life. Keep doing
pratikraman every free moment you get.
So you have to keep making him (‘Chandulal’) do
pratikraman. In the worldly life, tell him to do pratikraman
whenever possible.
Pratikraman for the Family and Close Relatives
Moreover, pratikraman should be done for all the people
in the home. Each day, do pratikraman for your father, mother,
brother and sister, and even for your extended family members,
because these are the people with whom you have very sticky
accounts.
So if you do pratikraman for your family for one hour,
starting from everyone close to you to the extended family and
going back two to three generations, recall all of them and do
pratikraman; thus you will destroy the most grave and serious
faults. Their minds will be cleansed towards you. You should do
this for all your close relatives. If you cannot sleep at night, you
should do pratikraman in this manner. When you start doing
pratikraman in this way, it will start a film. When that occurs,
much bliss will arise – so much so, that it will overflow.
Questioner: Yes, that is true.

Dadashri: During the time of pratikraman, the Self is in
complete, pure, focused awareness (shuddha upayog). There is
no interference from anything.
Who does the pratikraman? ‘Chandulal’ does the
pratikraman. And for whom does he do pratikraman? He
does pratikraman for his whole family. He recalls all his extended
family, to do pratikraman. The Self is the ‘Seer’ (jonaaro) of
this process; the Self does nothing. There is no other interference
and, therefore, much pure, focused awareness (shuddha upayog)
remains.
