10. KAREMI BHANTE SAMAYIKA
(At the start of Samayika one has to become completely free from all bondage. One has to 'give up' one's soul, i.e. have no association with worldly matters or thoughts).
O Lord! I thus perform Samayika
And give up all dealings in sinful acts
While I am doing this
I would not commit any sins
And I would not approve of anyone doing so
with mind, word or body.
I retract,
I condemn,
I criticise all (my own) bad deeds,
I renunciate,
And will have a complete disassociation.
11. MUHAPATTI PADILEHAN
(Symbolical purification with handkerchief. This has no real religious significance other than going through ones mistakes and symbolically wiping them out. Real 'cleaning' can only be carried out with a pure mind and determination).
1)
Unfold Muhapatti, hold it vertically in both hands and the say - "These are the words for purification, I wish to abandon the feelings of attachment in worldly pleasures".
2)
Hold the Muhapatti, while making pleats -
"I wish to respect the noble Gods, Gurus and Religion. I wish to renounce any false Gods, Gurus and Religions. I wish to uphold right knowledge, right faith and right conduct".
