“Even if my mornings are chaotic because of kids and work, this is the one thing I never skip,” he said, adding that although the prayer typically takes 15 minutes, he can recite it in about seven minutes if in a rush, followed by two minutes of meditation. “If I can dedicate 15 to 20 minutes for this, it feels like a luxury. It helps me reconnect with life’s meaning and purpose.”
