virtues and I should not look towards the faults of others. I pray to have such feelings. I seek to continue to be on the true path even if I am abused or praised; get material benefits or not; survive for lakhs of years or die even today or I am frightened by some one or offered allurements.
I should not feel proud in success nor have any remorse in failures. My heart should be so strong that I should remain firm and stable even under frightening mountains, rivers or forests. I should be able to bear calmly the demise of the affectionate ones or the company of undesirable ones. These are my wishes.
All living beings of this world should remain happy. Not one should get perturbed form miseries. The entire world should always remain happy, devoid of enmity sin and pride. Every house should reverberate with religious rituals. Sinful activities should become difficult. All living beings should get success in their lives by improving their knowledge and the conduct. Such is my wish.
There should not be any fear or calamity in this world. We should have rain at the right time. The rulers should reign with religious fervor. There should not be any spread of disease, epidemic, famine etc. All should continue to live peacefully. The most virtuous creed of non-violence should spread in the whole world so that all living beings are benefited. I have such a desire.
All living beings of the world should have increased affectionate feelings and should not have sexual desires. No one should speak undesirable, harsh or unpleasant words. All should aspire to become "Yugvir" and should remain engaged in the upliftment of the country with true endeavor. I should be able to face with equanimity all sort of calamities or pains by considering the real pure nature of my soul. I have such a wish.
