Both the great saints accepted Padapogman Anshana till their
last breath wherein they had to lay down in sleeping position
on one fixed stone on the mountain VaibharGiri.

What an amazing steadiness they possessed in penance !

Now let’s take a glimpse into our lives.

Do we stick to even small resolutions like :

(1) Doing Porisi Pachchakkhana
(2) Doing some fix fast on Tithi days

(3) Offering some amount in Lord’s devotion.
(4) Serving saints or helping some Sadharmikas on a regular
basis.

It happens many a time in our day-to-day life that we decide
something strongly on the previous day or that same day when
we rise early in the morning. For e.g. We decide that from
today we will stop speaking lies, teasing others, watching blue
films and reading such novels, eating inedible outside food,

getting angry on others, etc. But can we sincerely stick on our
decision ? Do our activities support our resolution ? Or are
we just enthusiastic in taking new resolutions and completely
indifferent in implementing them ?

We really need to check our steadiness, our sthitapragyata
even in such small things. This precious life is flowing away
like a stream of water. The great rituals shown by Lord, the
valuable chances of getting rid of our vices and striving for
our spiritual welfare are in our hands but we are losing them
because of lack of Sthitapragyata.

But we need to take care that –
“Time that has passed will never come back.”
