But I do bhaav-pratikraman (intent pratikraman).
Dadashri: What kind of bhaav-pratikraman do you
do?
Seeker: If I feel I made a mistake, then I repent for it
with the Soul as the witness.
Dadashri: Is that so! How many times a day does this
occur?
Seeker: Four or five times. I do it at night.
Dadashri: That much of your actions go towards
dharmadhyan (absence of adverse internal meditation). If you
are doing what you have just said, then it goes into dharmadhyan.
Seeker: How do I repent for any wrongdoing (paap)? Is
the method that I use the right one?
Dadashri: Whatever it may be, it is not complete, but
some dharmadhyan occurs with that. What is of importance is
your intent.
Seeker: But should I do it or not?
(28)
Dadashri: Whatever you are doing at the moment is fine,
but learn the new way that I teach you. But for now, whatever
you are doing is fine.
Seeker: The poet, Kalapi, has said:
‘Yes, repentance; the pure abundant stream is flowing
from the heaven.
By jumping in it, the sinner becomes virtuous.’
What do you have to say about that?
Dadashri: That is for the sinners at the gross and
superficial level. That is for wrong actions at the gross level and
to repent for them.
