WHO AM I ?
you have to repent. You have to do it as soon as you realize
your mistakes. In this way, your faults will decrease and
eventually go away.
Questioner : So how should we perform pratikraman
towards an individual?
Dadashri : Recall the Pure Soul (Shuddhatma), the one
who is absolutely separate from the thoughts, speech, actions,
bhaavkarma (charge karmas), dravyakarma (effect karma),
nokarma (neutral karmas), of that person; recall the
Shuddhatma that is separate from the name and all the
associated attachment of that person. In this way the Pure Soul
has to be recalled. Then ‘Chandulal’ will need to recall his
mistakes (aalochana), repent for the mistake (pratikraman),
and vow never to repeat it (pratyakhyan). ‘You,’ the
Shuddhatma, have to remain an observer of how ‘Chandulal’
performs the pratikraman and with how much sincerity.
DEHADHYAS IS ‘I AM THIS BODY’
Ordinarily, people in this world are not able to let go of
the awareness of, “I am this body.” They are not aware of the
Real Self. You, however, have received this Gnan and are now
without ego. “I am Chandulal,” is egoism and when the awareness
of Shuddhatma is established, there is no attachment to anything
connected with the body. Even then, initially you will make
mistakes and you may feel a sense of suffocation.
PRAGNYA WILL ALERT YOU FROM WITHIN
Because this Gnan is scientific, you will experience it
increasingly, and it will automatically alert you from within. You
will not have to do anything. The other, traditional, kramic-path
knowledge necessitates a ‘doership’ on your part.
Questioner : Yes, I experience something within that
alerts me.
