Questioner: If one ‘sees’ mistakes in the ‘samayik-
pratikraman’ process and does pratikraman, then one still has
to suffer the effect of those mistakes, does one not?
Dadashri: No, they are washed off. Some sticky ones
may remain. But what are they like? They will stick to the wall,
but the minute you touch them, they will fall away.
Questioner: How should I do pratikraman of the
mistakes that I ‘see’ in the samayik?
Dadashri: There is no need for pratikraman of all that
You ‘see’ in the samayik. That which You ‘see’ is all gone.
Pratikraman has to be done for those that are not ‘seen’
(‘seeing’ was not done through the Self, or when the person gets
hurt). What You ‘saw’ is cleared. It became clean the moment
You ‘saw’ it.
Questioner: But it will be ‘seen’ again, will it not?
Dadashri: You ‘see’ different phases, layers again. By
‘seeing,’ it is like peeling away of one layer of an onion at a time.
It will still look like an onion.
Questioner: But I can ‘see’ the same scene (drashya),
that which is to be ‘seen’ again, can I not?
Dadashri: You (the Self) cannot ‘see’ the same drashya
(scene) again; You cannot ‘see’ it twice.
Questioner: If I do pratikraman for an enmity (veyr)
towards someone, do I have to do pratikraman for the same
person again?
Dadashri: Yes, when you do pratikraman for a major
mistake that exists, you peel off one layer, but hundreds of
thousands of other layers still remain intact. Those layers are
deeper. So you will have to keep on doing pratikraman until
those layers are finished. With some people, your account of
karma will be paid off in a month or two of pratikraman. And
