Baba's daily routine seems irrelevant to my modern, fast-paced life. How can his schedule of going for alms and visiting Lendi help me find peace when I'm overwhelmed?

While you cannot replicate Baba's exact routine, the underlying principles are timeless and applicable. Chapter 0 describes a life of deliberate structure, with dedicated time for different activities. For instance, 'there were three general sittings a day' where Maharaj gave advice. This suggests the importance of creating intentional pauses in your own hectic schedule for reflection, contemplation, or seeking guidance. Moreover, the description of how he would 'take plenty of water...and clean all these parts well; But it was done very gently' illustrates how to bring mindfulness and care to even mundane tasks. Applying this principle of gentle, focused action can reduce feelings of being overwhelmed in modern life.
