Pratikraman
with some, it continues for the whole life. That tuber (granthi)
is very large. When you peel off one layer of this onion, will you
not see the onion again? Similarly, mistakes have layers. So by

Effect of Dada’s Presence or Absence
Questioner: The experience we have when we do this
pratikraman and samayik in Dadashri’s presence, does it also
occur in Dadashri’s absence?
Dadashri: No, the experience is much better if Dada’s

‘Our’ words have a lot of effect.
Questioner: But the effect is still there, even in Dadashri’s
absence, is it not?
Dadashri: You can do it, you can do it; it is just that
things will go back and forth, that is all. Even then, it is more

an immediate experience. The samayik that ‘we’ have You do
here is a great purusharth (spiritual effort as the Self). It is a
vitamin for the Self. In the worldly dealings, you have to take
vitamins for the body. This is the vitamin that you have to take

fully yet.
Samayik of Separation
