actually saying that by reciting in a confused place, one receives

confused fruit and in this sense is referring to our surroundings.

worship clean and tidy. After every puja, Maa and Swamiji put away

their asans and all articles used in worship in a very tidy manner.

In many of the stories on Swamiji's journey to That place, there is

always reference to personal hygiene and preparation of the area and

utensils for worship.

talking to Her children and in making the point of keeping your

(generalizing here) surrounding clean for the invited guest, She said,

we all make the areas that can be seen tidy but what about where we

think others would not see? Are your cupboards tidy? The words echoed

in my mind like a bell, I sat up and held my head down at one go, for

I had arrived at the Mandir only the day before and prior to leaving

house, had cleaned from top to bottom of almost the entire house only

the food and bathroom cupboards were left for my return. Since then

I never, visit Maa without ensuring that my cupboards too are tidy.
