16 Most people would not understand this subtle distinction, which is why I have to say that, ‘Dada Bhagwan’ is manifest within me. Ask Him for whatever you want and get your work done. Very rarely does the Lord of the fourteen worlds manifest. I see it myself, that is why I am telling you to get your work done! That Darshan Reaches Instantly! When people get up in the morning, there is not much of a crowd around, right? And by the evening it gets extremely crowded because every body is moving around. The time between 4:30 to 6:30 in the morning is the most auspicious time for prayers. When you remember or invoke a tirthankara, the Gnani Purush, or the Gods and Goddess who protect the path of liberation, during this time, your prayers will be among the first to be accepted. This is because later on it gets very crowded! It starts to get crowded from 7 o’clock onwards. Then at 12 noon it is extremely crowded. So the first person that goes there would be able to do his darshan right away. As soon as he says, “With Dada Bhagwan as my witness, I offer my obeisance to Lord Simandhar” it will reach Simandhar Swami because there is no crowd at the time. So the time between 4:30 am and 6:30 am is the most auspicious. Those who are young should not let this opportunity go. Questioner: You have instructed us to do namaskar of Simandhar Swami, forty times in the morning. At that time it is morning here but there it may be evening. So what about the time difference there? Dadashri: We do not have to be concerned with that. The reason for doing it in the morning is that it is done as a priority before one gets involved in the hustle and bustle of the day-to- day work. If one does not have any work, one can do it later in the day.
