When I enter the temple, Let me leave my ego at its doorsteps,

Let me come to pray and not preach,

Let me obey rather than order,

Let me be fair and just, not fanatic,

Let me listen to others rather than be listened to,

Let me look at the reasons and not be rigid,

Let me rejoice in the philosophy and not revel in physical practices,

Lord Mahavir, Help me be a true Jain and let me leave my ego behind.
