Imagine the benefit of doing just 1 pratikraman! ! But, we
cannot visualize these benefits. Why so ? Because we don't
have great repentance over our sins. If we have enough
repentance, then we will definitely understand that just a
single day or night can bind the soul with enormous amount
of karmas and to eliminate them, we will automatically feel
like doing a pratikraman. It has the power to eliminate our
sins and misdeeds and ultimately purify our soul.

In spite of this, we do not feel like doing such a beautiful and
beneficial ritual in the morning but we readily agree to engage
in some monetarily beneficial occupation. Why ? Because we
are getting our desired result here and hence we are ready to
wake up early in the morning and bear other difficulties for
it. But we do not see any benefits in doing the pratikraman
and hence are not ready to face difficulties for it.

The reality is that we are not even aware about the abundant
sins that we accumulate throughout the day. Then how can
we repent over them ?

When there is no recognition and consequent repentance over
sins, how will one feel like doing pratikraman or prayashchit
to eliminate them ?

Isn't this a hopeless manner of passing your life ?

Can the one who is completely thoughtless about sins called
a believer of God ? Or an atheist ? Is he living a life of a
human or an animal ?

Since eternity, this soul is roaming in the cycle of birth and
death due to the sinful life we lead. In this birth, we have
been fortunate enough to get a chance to understand the nature
of sins. In spite of this golden chance, if we do not give it a
serious thought, then what will be the disastrous outcome ?

Does your life because sinless and fruitful just by going to the
