THE VALUE OF SLEEP
Many glamour to meditate, but their own nature forms a
stumbling block to get into the meditative state. From their nature they get an
array of irregular thoughts many times disturbing and discomforting. One’s
nature is the dweller at the threshold for those who strive to get into the
meditative state. The reason for a strong dweller at the threshold is the
activity of the mind throughout the day. The dweller cannot be overcome so very
easily until and unless one synthesizes the activity, food and rest of the day.
The key to gaining quiet nature is in following the laws of right relationship
and to daily associate with the knowledge of eternity. When these two are
coupled with an orderly daily activity one’s nature calms down. The ability to
do so depends upon one’s linkage with the objectivity. The linkage could be
bondage when it develops obligatory Karma due to one’s own ignorance.
I am sure by narrating the above you are more
discouraged than encouraged to walk the path of occultism. That is not the
purpose of this title. The best way to set a good routine is to ensure good and
regular hours of sleep. All aspirants are strongly recommended to give high
value to sleep. Let not other priorities disturb the attempt to rhythmise
sleep. Let your sleep be set to a rhythm. Students are recommended to retire to
bed at the least by 10:30 in the evening and wake up by 5:00 o’clock in the
morning. Remember that the sleep hours are hours of meditation. Consciously
prepare and get into the sleep. This is much more helpful than meditation for
the aspirants.
