For those who do not clash, I give the guarantee
that they will attain liberation in three lifetimes. If clash
arises, then do pratikraman. The clash is of the non-Self
complex, and clash between two non-Self complexes can
be extinguished through pratikraman..
If the other person multiplies it, then you should divide it, so the balance becomes zero. To think about another person, ‘He said this to me, he said that,’ that itself is an offense. As you are walking about your way and you collide into a wall, then why don’t you fight with the wall? Why are trees considered inanimate? Everyone that hurts you are living trees indeed! Do you say anything if a cow steps on your foot? That is how it is with people. Why does the Gnani Purush forgive everyone? He knows that these unfortunate people do not understand; they are like the trees. And nothing needs to be said to those who have the understanding; they immediately do pratikraman from within.
