________________ Washer man: "Yes I am taking God's name." Friend: "But why are you chanting God's name"? Washer man: "Because I have spare time that is why." Friend: "Why do have spare time"? Washer man: "Because this is the village of Digambars (They do not wear any clothes)." What is the need of a washer man in the town of Digambars? Parmatma has referred to this fact in Dashvaikaliksutra. You do not have anything and you say that you have given up it is not really giving up... you have got and yet you are giving up is renouncing. You have some spare time and you have got nothing constructive to do, so you sit to chant God's name just to pass time, this is not ideal, this is not done. Even if you are pressurized with tremendous work load and you still yearn to take out some time to take Parmatma's name, this is devotion. Your heart should say that no matter what, I will take out time for my Parmatma. I will do his sadhana...... this is real sadhana and real renunciation. Our approach should be, "I want to go deep in devotion and sadhana to pass through each and every exam that life takes and not for passing time aimlessly."
