If anger, pride, deceit and greed end up arising, let them be. There is no problem even if thoughts of unworthy behaviour arise; do not be alarmed. However, make sure You [the Self] reverse them by doing pratikraman (three fold process of confessing the mistake, asking for forgiveness for it and resolving not to repeat it) for them in this way. That will result in a very elevated level of dharmadhyan (a virtuous internal state of being that prevents one from hurting oneself or others)!
— Param Pujya Dada BhagwanWhenever the memory of something [a fault or transgression] comes to mind, do pratikraman (repentance coupled with asking for forgiveness) for it. Whenever a desire arises, do pratyakhyan (avowal to not repeat the mistake) for it.
— Param Pujya Dada BhagwanEven if you have an atrocious fault, but if you zealously repent for it, if you repent for it heartily, then that fault has no choice but to leave. However, people are not heartily repenting for it, are they? They just apologize superficially by saying, ‘It was my fault!’
— Param Pujya Dada BhagwanYou (must) do plenty of ‘pratikraman’. Do the ‘pratikraman’ for an hour every day of everyone who is living around you, whomever you have harassed.
— Param Pujya Dada BhagwanThings come into your memory even when you don’t want them to; that is because ‘pratikraman dosh’ is pending (mistake for which pratikraman was not done yet).
— Param Pujya Dada BhagwanThe one whose ‘alochana (confession of mistakes), pratikraman (asking for forgiveness) and pratyakhyan (avowal to never repeat the mistake)’ are true (done correctly), he is bound to attain the knowledge of the Self (attain self realization).
— Param Pujya Dada BhagwanIf ‘pratikraman’ happens immediately [as the mistake happen], then it will bring one in the state of God (Bhagwan-pad).
— Param Pujya Dada BhagwanWhen you see the members of your household as faultless (nirdosh) and see only your own faults, then true pratikraman will be done.
— Param Pujya Dada BhagwanA man who repents after doing any action, he will certainly become pure one day, that is definite.
— Param Pujya Dada BhagwanOn what basis does the world continue to exist? It is due to the fault of ‘apratikraman' (the mistake for which pratikraman was not done).
— Param Pujya Dada BhagwanIs it atikraman [Hurtful karma] if we eat, cut our hair or brush our teeth? No, it is not like that. Anger-pride-deceit-greed is considered atikraman [Hurtful karma]. If you do pratikraman [Ask for forgiveness], they will all go away.
