So be it ; people say that at least he is sitting quietly in one place instead of running around . Otherwise , outside the fishermen are killing fish and this guy is killing fish ( jumping thoughts ) within . This cannot be called a samayik at all ! It is a kind of stillness ( sthirata ). Nevertheless , from the overall perspective such samayik is not wrong . At least he is able to remain still for that amount of time . We cannot call it wrong at all .
Even in his shop , if a man is not able to sit still for three hours , he would not be able to do business . His income is based on how long he is able to sit there . He should stay put for three hours in one place . Many people are so hyper that they cannot sit for even five minutes .
Swadhyaya Samayik
Seeker : When we do samayik of two ghadis ( fortyeight minutes ; one ghadi is twenty-four minutes ), what action ( kriya ) can be carried out in that ?
Dadashri : It is like this ; this samayik is the samayik of the mind . When a person has thoughts about his shops , or the kitchen , he will keep pushing them away .
Seeker : I do not get such thoughts . ( 500 ) Dadashri : Then what do you get ?
Seeker : Whatever occurs but I do not get thoughts . I read books .
Dadashri : So samayik will occur by reading books . What does samayik mean ? It means that during the time of forty-eight minutes , instead of being in other things , your meditation ( dhyan ) remained in this ; it remained in swadhyaya ( here scripture study ). That is called ( swadhyaya samayik ). The relative awareness ( upayog ) is in something else . However , the true samayik is one which , if you were to do it just once , there would be no end to Your bliss ; all Your demerit karma – sins will be destroyed .
