Jinabhai in Meditation:

There is a confluence of three rivers on the outskirts of Dhari. The place of confluence is known as Triveni Sangam, and the resulting river is called the river Shetrunji. The Shetrunji narrows on reaching a bridge, and shrinks to the size of a small rivulet under the bridge. The inhabitants of Dhari call it 'Patalio Zaro'.
Exactly at this spot near the bridge, Jinabhai used to have his daily bath in the morning. He would wear clean clothes after his bath, and then sit in an upright posture and perform meditation for hours together. He meditated upon the divine form of Shriji Maharaj. To many who saw Jinabhai seated in meditation at such a lonely place, it seemed as if Dhruva himself was meditating ! They invariably stood and watched the young Jina steeped in meditation.
Sometimes, friends of Jinabhai would come to have their bath at 'Patalio Zaro'. They were amazed to find Jinabhai rapt in meditation. They would wait for him till he came out of his meditation. And then they would always inquire : "What were you doing ?" And Jinabhai would reply : "I try to remember God. Will you join me ? I will try to teach you the art of meditation."
From his childhood Jinabhai never failed to do his meditaiton every morning. He advised everybody to start their morning work only after remembering Shriji Maharaj.
