Full Discourse

Maharaj Ji, how can the sinful conduct committed unknowingly be removed through this birth? There is a difference between the unknowing and the knowing. For example, we are walking, and suddenly an ant dies under our foot. We did not want it. It happened unknowingly. For example, we are travelling in a vehicle, and how many creatures die under the vehicle's wheels. We do not want it, but we have to travel, so we must go, and small creatures die in it. For example, a farmer is swinging his spade. He does not want it, but some creature gets cut.

This is called the sin of the unknowing. So this sin of the unknowing is destroyed in dreams and such. For example, in a dream, terrible pain is being inflicted on you. You are in severe agony, and on waking there is nothing. Those unknowing sins are experienced in the dream. But the sins we commit knowingly, we have to bear the punishment of the body. We have to suffer it through physical punishment. So the sins we commit unknowingly are experienced in dreams through the subtle body, and the sins committed knowingly are borne by the gross body.

Hmm.
