Guest guest Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 That is so true. My most productive time starts at 4:00 am. I go to bed early (which keeps me out of trouble) and wake up everyday at that hour. I learned that in the military, I did 20 years in the Army. It's so true that I do more before ...etc etc.. I guess that it is a spiritual time. I live in Hawaii on a hill that overlooks the ocean. The N.W. corner of Molokai. I gage my day by " if I can see Diaamond head on Oahu" . If I can't then it's gonna be a bad day. Wierd I know. I've always loved the mornings.....Take care everyone, I envy all of you for your sincere religious beliefs and selfless service.... chembalacnair <chembalacnair wrote:OM AMRITESWARYAI NAMAH IMMORTAL LIGHT - Spiritual Life Children, everyone should try to wake up before five in the morning. The ideal time for spiritual practices like meditation and chanting is Brahma Muhurta (the period between three and six a.m.). During this period, sattvic qualities are predominant in nature. Moreover, the mind will be clear and the body energetic. It is never a good practice to continue to sleep after sunrise. We should not think of staying in bed once we are awake; it increases laziness and dullness. Those who cannot decrease the amount of sleep quickly may do it in gradual stages. Those who do regular sadhana do not need much sleep. :: >From the book of Immortal Light - Advice to Householders (english translation of the original Malayalam "Amrita Jyoti") Amma Sharanam Aum Amriteswarayai Namaha!

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 OM AMRITESWARYAI NAMAH IMMORTAL LIGHT - Spiritual Life Make good use of your time Make use of all free time at the office and elsewhere for chanting the mantra or reading spiritual books. Avoid indulging in uncessary gossip and try to talk about spiritual subjects with others. Keep away from bad company at all costs. Writing in a diary every evening before going to bed is a good habit. We can record in the diary how much time we have devoted to our sadhana. The diary should be written in a way that helps us see our mistakes and correct them. It should not be a mere document of other people's faults or our dialy transactions. :: >From the book of Immortal Light - Advice to Householders (english translation of the original Malayalam "Amrita Jyoti") Amma Sharanam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
