Questioner: Dada, sometimes when we do pratikraman ( The Formula For Ultimate Liberation ) and repent for our mistakes for getting angry with someone, we feel anguish within. Yet, we do not have the courage to ask for forgiveness face to face, from that person.

Dadashri: You need not ask for forgiveness in that way, otherwise the other person might misuse it. He may think that he has put you in your place. Just ask for forgiveness internally, by recalling the soul within the person. There are only a handful of people who would forgive you before you even ask for their forgiveness. Such nobility is rare these days.

Sincere pratikraman ( The Formula For Ultimate Liberation ) yields immediate results

Questioner: Sometimes I become so angry that I will say something and then keep quiet, but I am in turmoil from within and it lingers. Does this call for more than one pratikraman (divine prayer)?

Dadashri: If you do pratikraman ( The Formula For Ultimate Liberation ) two or three times wholeheartedly and with resolve never to repeat the mistake, then everything is cleared. Pray to the soul within that person and confess that you became very angry and hurt him and that you are now asking for forgiveness for your actions.
