Notes from 14 October.

In the old days, villagers churned butter first thing in the morning, because at that hour the atmosphere makes good butter. So practise purifying the mind early in the morning.

Three lines that followed:

  • Last year I burned Ravan. Did he die? Ravan means the darkness of the mind.
  • When I eat, the moment the first taste arrives, my attention leaves the mind and intellect and comes down to the tongue.
  • "To be called big is to receive big sorrow." And: learn to serve as much as you can.

One last note, about the solar dynasty (Suryavanshi): to be part of it, follow your mother and father completely, stay in remembrance, and give respect.
