Those who want to get rid of their mistakes should do
alochana to Me. If someone has made a big mistake and he
wants to remove it, then the moment he does alochana to Me,
that mistake is tied up (it will not be free to occur again). His
mind becomes tied up (surrendered) to Me. So how can he
untie it then? Then ‘we’ shower him with the Lord’s grace; but
his mind must become bound with ‘us.’ Why would I bother
with all this on my own? So when he comes on his own to Me
and requests Me to help him, then I will give him the cure. Why
would I go to everyone’s home and ask?
Whatever the benefit, at least one gains that much.
Otherwise, there is no end to this. And the one who has a lot
of awareness and has a desire to cleanse, he will come to Me.
If he comes and tells me in privacy and confidence that he has
made such and such a mistake, then that mistake is bound and
arrested. A mistake always gets arrested when you do the
alochana. And once it is arrested, it can no longer stick to you.
Confess to Me only the mistakes the world accepts when
confessed in the presence of others. All other mistakes, tell Me
only in private. Many people talk to Me about their mistakes in
private. They are personal. If the mistakes are openly declared,
people will misuse the information. Only the Gnani will not misuse
it. Other people will misuse the information the moment they
learn of it.
When people sit in a group to eat, one will eat a lot of
vegetables and sweets, but at least he eats in a group, does he
not? That is not considered as hiding your mistakes; hiding or
covering up mistakes is where people go behind closed doors.
Things they do in secret behind closed doors. It is where people
look for darkness. You do not go around looking for such
darkness, do you? Those are called secret deeds. Now if you
were to disclose those kinds of clandestine mistakes here, you
will experience aversion from people. You cannot talk about
