Pratikraman
Questioner: But how can one do pratikraman without
attaining Gnan?
Dadashri: People do that! They do pratikraman with
the ego by saying, ‘I will not do it again.’ People are doing it
anyway! And their life goes on too. Just as they do atikraman
through the ego, they also do pratikraman through the ego. It
is all a doing of the non-Self (pudgal); it is all a creation of the
non-Self, there is no Self in it.
Moksha Only through Pratikraman of the
Akram Path
Questioner: But, Dada, this is one weapon with which
one is going to attain moksha.
(488)
Dadashri: That is one way. And this is Akram, so
liberation (moksha) is its nature.
Questioner: That is true, but we will have to continue
doing pratikraman and pratyakhyan, will we not?
Dadashri: You will have to do it. But even then, only
those who can do it will do it. What about those who cannot?
If a person cannot walk, I have to carry him on my back. So
when they do it on their own, then the energy will arise within
them and they will do pratikraman again. They are not so
shameless that they will not do it at all. Those who have met
Dada do have shame.
Questioner: Dada, please explain that in detail.
Dadashri: For what I have to explain to you, I will tell
you to do alochana, pratikraman and pratyakhyan; and you
are to do all three. This is because you all have become free
from such pain. For these other people (those who do not have
Self-realization), they can never be free from pain. How is one
to become free from pain in this era, Kaliyug?
