Ninth Vow - Second (Enhancing) Shikshävrata (The importance of the Sämäyik is explained in the
beginning of this book.)
I might not have maintained equanimity for 48 minutes.
I might not have properly understood the true nature of Sämäyik. I might have not maintained the spiritual harmony of body, mind and speech. I might not have detach myself of worldly affairs. I might not have performed Sämäyika with enthusiasm. I might have entertained wicked thoughts and kept thinking of the pros and cons of worldly matters (misdirection of mind). I might have uttered lies, disagreeable or improper words. (misdirection of speech). I might have performed bodily actions that were unwholesome, improper and undesirable. (misdirection of body). I might have taken a vow for Sämäyik and forgotten about it (lack of interest). I might have not performed Sämäyik according to the laid down formalities. I might have completed Sämäyik before it should be over.
If I have indulged in any of the above faults or lapses by physical, verbal or mental activities, directly or indirectly, then I pray that my such faults be dissolved. TASSA MICHCHHÄ MI DUKKADAM.
