In the evening Shrimadji used to go for a walk and to come back at about 10 pm.
At times Motilal also used to accompany him.
While walking accordingly Shrimadji once told him, "Why are you indulging in indolence? The right path is now strewn with thorns; our soul knows how much effort had to be made to remove those thorns.
Had there been an enlightened being, we would have pursued him; you have the enlightened in front of you and still you are not awake.
Remove the indolence and get awake.
When I had been the last pupil of Lord Mahavir, I had indulged in slight indolence and as a result I had to take all these births.
The worldly souls, however, do not worry at all even while living with too much indolence.
It is very hard for them to recognize the enlightened being in front of them..."
