Pratikraman
pratikraman.
Questioner: Tell me the most obvious thing here; is it the
body that does pratikraman? If I go and tell ‘Chandubhai,’
‘Forgive me for hurting you yesterday,’ that pratikraman is
carried out by the body. So that is at the gross level; so what
is the subtle (sookshma) part in that?
Dadashri: Why? The inner intent (bhaav) that occurred
within, that is the subtle part. And all that which occurred
externally, that is all gross. It is fine even if the gross does not
occur, but it is more than enough if you do the subtle. And the
one who did atikraman, make him do the pratikraman. Tell
him, ‘You did atikraman, so now do pratikraman and become
pure.’ So the one who did the atikraman, he has to nullify it.
Tell him, ‘Sir, why are you doing all this now?’ There is no other
solution, other than pratikraman.
If Gnan remains ‘scientifically’ (vignan in operation), then
there is no problem even if You remain silent (maun). There is
no internal conversation either. But it does not remain
‘scientifically’ for our people (mahatmas), so you have to say
something like this, because the one doing the saying is not the
pure Soul (Shuddhatma); it is the energy known as pragnya
shakti that is saying so. Do you understand? So the Shuddhatma
has no need to say anything, does it? The energy known as
pragnya says, ‘Why are you doing this? This should not be so!’
That is all it says and that is enough. Do you understand? Or if
your conduct is such that it has hurt someone, pragnya will say,
‘Do pratikraman and pratyakhyan.’ That is all. Is there anything
difficult in this?
Pratikraman Again and Again
Questioner: One does pratikraman once, but what if he
does the same atikraman again?
Dadashri: If that occurs again, then do pratikraman
