[ 25 ] Understanding the Principles of Pratikraman 521
( parmanus) do not become pure, so what occurs with pratikraman?( 492)
Dadashri: The parmanus only become pure through‘ seeing’ them. The effect of the hurt caused will remain, and so when you do pratikraman, it will be washed away. As much as possible, one should not be the cause( nimit) of that hurt.
Questioner: Can it be said that it becomes pure with pratikraman?
Dadashri: You may in general gross terms.
Pratikraman Has Been Inserted in Akram Vignan
Questioner: One life is to be spent by constantly‘ seeing.’ Is the‘ seeing’ to be done while doing pratikraman?
Dadashri: You should be constantly aware that‘ I am not doing anything at all.’ If this remains continuously, then there is no need for you to do pratikraman.‘ We’ have the constant, continuous awareness.‘ We’ tell you what‘ we’ experience. After attaining the Gnan,‘ we’ constantly experience that.
Nevertheless, pratikraman is not at all necessary in this Gnan. This Gnan is the ultimate kind where pratikraman does not exist at all. But here,‘ we’ graduate even the one who is at the level of the fourth grade. So then what happens to all those skipped middle grades? So‘ we’ have added pratikraman and taken on the responsibility. Otherwise, there is no pratikraman in this Gnan; nevertheless, it has been put in the middle at‘ our’ own liability.
Except for the Shuddhatma, everything else is garbage. In that, one is kraman and the other is atikraman. Everything other than the Shuddhatma are mistakes and pratikraman has to be done for them.
