So the food in our house was very different from the tradition.
00:05
We didn't even eat onions and garlic.
00:08
Vegetables, lentils, rice, whatever was made,
00:12
I ate almost all the vegetables.
00:15
In the evening, I didn't have a habit of having tea.
00:18
My father didn't even make me a habit of having tea from the beginning.
00:22
He said, no, this becomes a habit.
00:25
Habit is a habit.
00:28
It's okay, it's lighter than everything.
00:31
Even than drinks,
00:34
and cigarettes, etc.
00:37
In the Gita, God has said,
00:40
eat appropriate food, neither too much nor too little.
00:45
So my food was like this only.
00:50
I used to make small phulkis.
00:53
I used to eat more, 4 or 3-4.
00:57
And now, it's been 2-3 years.
01:04
Now I can't eat more than 2.
01:09
Till now, it's my routine.
01:12
I used to go to bed at 9.30 and eat food.
01:16
If I'm late, it's a different matter.
01:19
If a guest comes, or there's a party or something,
01:24
I eat before 10.
01:28
99% of the time,
01:31
I eat before 10.
01:34
From 8 to 8.30.
01:36
In the morning, I wake up at 4.
01:39
Between 4 and 5.
01:42
At that time, I roam around a little.
01:46
Now I can't roam around.
01:49
Maybe there's someone behind me.
01:52
Even then, when I'm waking up,
01:55
I go inside.
01:58
15-20 minutes.
02:00
Or half an hour.
02:02
Usually, half an hour.
02:04
Slowly, I roam around.
02:07
Then I take a bath.
02:09
And after taking a bath,
02:12
usually at 7,
02:15
my pooja temple is made inside.
02:18
So I reach there.
02:20
That's it.
02:21
Don't sleep too much.
02:23
Don't eat too much.
02:25
Don't rest too much.
02:28
Do what's easy for you.
