00:00So the food in our house was very different from the tradition.
00:05We didn't even eat onions and garlic.
00:08Vegetables, lentils, rice, whatever was made,
00:12I ate almost all the vegetables.
00:15In the evening, I didn't have a habit of having tea.
00:18My father didn't even make me a habit of having tea from the beginning.
00:22He said, no, this becomes a habit.
00:25Habit is a habit.
00:28It's okay, it's lighter than everything.
00:31Even than drinks,
00:34and cigarettes, etc.
00:37In the Gita, God has said,
00:40eat appropriate food, neither too much nor too little.
00:45So my food was like this only.
00:50I used to make small phulkis.
00:53I used to eat more, 4 or 3-4.
00:57And now, it's been 2-3 years.
01:04Now I can't eat more than 2.
01:09Till now, it's my routine.
01:12I used to go to bed at 9.30 and eat food.
01:16If I'm late, it's a different matter.
01:19If a guest comes, or there's a party or something,
01:24I eat before 10.
01:2899% of the time,
01:31I eat before 10.
01:34From 8 to 8.30.
01:36In the morning, I wake up at 4.
01:39Between 4 and 5.
01:42At that time, I roam around a little.
01:46Now I can't roam around.
01:49Maybe there's someone behind me.
01:52Even then, when I'm waking up,
01:55I go inside.
01:5815-20 minutes.
02:00Or half an hour.
02:02Usually, half an hour.
02:04Slowly, I roam around.
02:07Then I take a bath.
02:09And after taking a bath,
02:12usually at 7,
02:15my pooja temple is made inside.
02:18So I reach there.
02:20That's it.
02:21Don't sleep too much.
02:23Don't eat too much.
02:25Don't rest too much.
02:28Do what's easy for you.
