Just as there is a watchman at the door of the house, so that no thief or robber enters, I placed the watch of self-awakening on my mind so that no bad thought enters. After some time was completely cured. Fifteen years have passed.
Thus it was that cancer was of benefit to me; but for it would not have become religious as I did. I am convinced, beyond doubt, that it is Navakara that became my saviour, now it is everything to me. My Daily Routine
I lead a retired life since then and my daily routine is this.
Iget up at four in the morning and my first prayers are"I beg forgivance of all the Jivas; may all the Jivas pardon me. Let my friendship be with all; I entertain enmity towards none."
And
“May all the Jivas in the world be happy; may all remain free from disease and be healthy. May all be liberated; let no one commit sin.” With this deep feeling in my heart, I sit in Padmasana posture, conceive of a white lotus in my heart, get engrossed in 108 chantings of the Navakara Mantra and chant also the "Uvaggahara". Then | meditate for a while on the white lustrous complexion of Shri Arihanta Paramatma in the heart. Then, I bring before the eyes of my consciousness, Shri Mahavira Prabhu in a state of meditation and pray
"O Prabhu! When shall I acquire your meditation ?"
In the end, I ponder over my Atmasvaroopa and experience that "I am the master of infinite power", etc. As !
