Q) After doing cleaning for 15-20 minutes I feel fresh. Should I stop cleaning at this point?
A) No. Cleaning must be done for full 40 minutes. Even though you may feel fresh after 15 minutes still you have to continue the cleaning for the remaining time because some dirt may come up for cleaning at the 39th minute too.
Q) If I don’t get involved in any activity during the day do I have to attend to the evening cleaning process?
A) You must attend to cleaning even on those days when we don’t get involved in any activity. Generally, when we do any activity during a day, we accumulate mala and this is cleaned. We start with cleaning the mala. Then we go on to clean vikshepa. Therefore, if we don’t do any activity and haven’t accumulated any mala, we still should do the cleaning process because we can attend to the cleaning of vikshepa.
