awareness, new faults will not arise <strong>and</strong> the old ones will<br />

As Many Faults: That Many Pratikramans Are Needed<br />
If you are a vessel of infinite faults, you will have to do<br />
that many pratikramans (the process of recalling, repenting<br />
<strong>and</strong> asking <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>giveness with the avowal to not repeat an act<br />
of aggression through thoughts, speech or action). You will be<br />
able to see all the faults that you have brought with you after the<br />
Gnani Purush gives you Gnan. Ignorance (of the <strong>Self</strong>)<br />
prevents you from seeing your faults. To see the fault of others<br />
is the wrong vision (mithyatva).<br />
The Vision towards One’s Own Faults Within<br />
After you attain this Gnan, you will see negative thoughts<br />
as well as positive ones. There is no attachment towards good<br />
thoughts <strong>and</strong> no abhorrence <strong>for</strong> the bad ones. Since it is not<br />
under your control, it is not necessary <strong>for</strong> you to look at what<br />
is good <strong>and</strong> what is bad. So what do the Gnanis look at? They<br />
look at the world as flawless. The Gnani Purush knows that<br />
everything that happens in the world is a discharge. He knows<br />
that the world is not to be blamed. Even the insults that you<br />
encounter or your dispute with your boss are simply the<br />
discharge of past karma; your boss is only an “evidentiary<br />
instrument” (nimit) in the process. No one in the world can be<br />
blamed. All the faults that you see are your own, <strong>and</strong> these are<br />
the mistakes, <strong>and</strong> it is because of them, that the world exists.<br />
Vengeance is caused by seeing faults of others.<br />
