Aptavani-4
Dadashri: Yes, of course everything is a liability! When you do pratikraman, it is cleared. Even doing pratikraman is a par-bhaav (of the non-Self). With that, you bind merit karma (punya), it is not swabhav (of the Self). The binding of merit karma (punya) and the binding of demerit karma (paap) belongs to the non-Self. When you settle them with equanimity (sambhave-nikal), they are reduced.
Therefore, pratibhaav does not occur to those who are ignorant of the Self (agnani). They do not have any awareness (jagruti) to make them realize that what is happening is wrong. Even the Gnani does not have pratibhaav. That is because no bhaav whatsoever arises within him, so how can he have pratibhaav? That is the sign of absolute awareness. And those who have attained samyak darshan (the vision of the Self), such mahatmas (those who have attained Self-realization through Gnan Vidhi) with awareness, have pratibhaav, so that whenever they have a negative bhaav, the awareness (jagruti) will instantly alert them and then pratibhaav will arise within them.

Questioner: Whenever I see you, you always look the same. There is never any change. Why is that?
Dadashri: Is this a flower that it would wither? This is the Parmatma (Supreme Self), that has manifested and is sitting within! Otherwise, I would appear withered. What does one such as he, whose par-bhaav (state of the non-Self) has ended, whose constant awareness (jagruti) is maintained in the swabhav (in the Self), who has not the slightest interest in the non-Self (par-bhaav), need?
With the demise of par-bhaav (state of the non-Self), the bliss experienced is indeed something special! You should fix
