meditate for some five or ten minutes more, it is five in the morning. I experience immense peace.
Then I move round all the temples of my village. All these temples are simply exquisite, the idols are of olden times. After Darshan I take to Navakarashi. It is nine or nine-thirty by the time. I then hear the sermons if there be any. Between ten and eleven I am with Shri Bhabha Parshvanath. I repeat my early morning programme and experience unique peace.
After worship, I take food and then read religious works for half an hour. Then, after rest for some time, I take two or three Samayikas. I also study the nine substances etc. and take to meditation.
I have my food in the evening, then Darshan and Pratikramana. Then, if Maharaj Saheb is there, I take to Vaiyavachya devotion and then return home. Then I seek forgivance of all the Jivas, express my good wishes and prayers for them. Then I chant the Navakara for some time and enter into deep sleep. Even in sleep the muttering of ॐ हीं अहं नमः or नमो अरिहन्ताणं goes on in rhythm.
This chanting is on while I am walking or sitting; in bus or in train and the chanting of Mantras mentioned above is on. Every half hour I try to detect and check the thoughts that go on in my mind.
For the last ten years this programme is on. For the first five years this was not fixed. It got fixed in due course of
time.
