Night vs morning practices .. the confusion continues ..hey hey !!!

[Guest guest]

hmmm ..

 

<< sadhana at night >>

 

intesting qn. what so great about morning right ? , frankly speaking I don't

know .. ha ha!!! . For you and me it may not matter , but about beginners ?? .

we all debate each other based on the "information" and it's derivatives which

we get from here and there ?. anyway becaues of the time constraints ( working

hours 2 PM - 12 AM+ , reach home by 1-2 AM ) , Now I cannot think of doing

sadhana even at 8 O'clock. Just sharing again what I have read/heard.

 

wanna to know my meditative experiences ..

 

1) In the college , i had a habit of just watching th leaves of coconut tree

while lying down on the bed , just for fun . when I don't have anything to do.

Once I had very good experience .. ( heyy.. no debate about lying down vs

sitting down pls .. hey heyy .. just pulling the leg .. lol )

 

2) In a barber shop , while sitting there mediatatively in an aromatic

atmosphere .

 

3) When a took a tablet for fever and headache , few yaers back .. that day was

a semi enlightened day .. It was not a experience .. but a kind of blissful

state that I realised that I AM THAT .. I KNOW THAT .. looks strange right ?..

but all dispeared after a sleep .. ngiaaaa ....

 

Why morning preferred

--

 

Food is fully digested ( meditation should NOT be done when the stomach is full,

food will not be digested )

A lot of changes in the nature ( I don't have full details about this )

Certain glands in the body gets activated during that time ( Read in a journal

with scientific explanations, an year back )

which supports meditation.

 

for typically "married" house holder , the above is preferred, as this not going

to affect their relationship with spouce.

 

Why night Preferred

------------------------------

No worry about time limitations(No more office time? tension .. lol , a window

of 8-10 hrs are there for you .. this period is more than enough for the

happening ..)

Nobody to trouble in night , even the pets ..

Darkness and silence around in general is good to get centred.

 

hence high possibility of jumping into meditative state. For many of the saints

awakening happened in the night !!!. and for many of them it happened outside

the house , while having more natural exposure.. People who want to attain

"abnormal states" (lol) .. yep .. night is the best , but with very empty

stomach .. and friday night is the best you are getting a 60 hrs time frame ,

just for you, for your own inner blossoming.

 

these are minor things. your commitment & enthusiasm is the key . As and when

the sadhak progress every movement will be meditative with 100% awareness , The

whole 24 hrs will be a sadhana for him.

 

<< There seems to be a tendency on this list to recommend ritualistic practices

>>

 

To get enlightened, infact you don't need to do anything, ask this question to

saints they will agree with that . Few will laugh at you saying "effort for

enlightenment .. hahaha , you have drop all your efforts as you need to reach to

a state of no mind, else the very effort will be the obstacle ". but how many

people can digest that single statement . If you can be in a state of

thoughtless awareness it can take you there . But to reach to that state it is

not a cup of tea. hence masters started with rituals , symbols , values ,

practices and all . Believe me every ritual has got it's own impact . Either in

our own system or to the space around. There are a lot of unknown misteries

around us. All cannot be passed as information .as and when you progress you

will start getting a lot of intuional knowldge too. as amma says your inner guru

will be awakened. till then have patience.

 

But we understand that we have lot of kiddies here , who are like new born

babies who may not be having any religious/ spiritual background . Amma do speak

for new people, always. same too will be done here too.. more preference will be

given to the newbies as they need more guidance. We cannot advise them about too

much of advita vedanta . It will be too dry for them . hence the puja practices

and all . let them start with devotion , let us see the pogress after that we

will hand over them to amma. They need somebody who have the patience to hold

their hands and take to next level.

 

hope I have not confused more people .. lol..

 

ngiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa .. I don't have the time to write .. else I am going to

be cooked up like bala uncle too.. ngiiiaaaa...

 

hey dears !!! pls pray to amma to minimise my sleep from 8 hrs to 2 hours ..

pleazzzze.

 

with lots of luv

Yesterday I tried meditating at my work place (lots of down time there) around

5:30AM, & was amazed at how peaceful & quiet it seemed, even in unfamiliar

surroundings. I'm sold.

As I understand it, we need these in the beginning.

....newbies.. . hence the puja practices and all . let them start with devotion

Sri Ramakrishna said that the way is love & then prayer, which agrees w/starting

w/devotion. And speaking of babies, a concept came to me (I'll bet it was from

our Amma) while meditating last night. This may help those who are also riding

life's seeming waves of uncertainty. As my ego was resisting surrender, I

suddenly felt that I was a yet to be born baby in our Mother's womb. All

comfortable & everything taken care of with nothing to do but rest & grow.

Afterwards, I hung onto the concept of living in God's/Divine Mother's womb. We

really are in God afterall. It even helped me to look more kindly upon others,

to see us as being born from the same Mother's womb.

 

hey dears !!! pls pray to amma to minimise my sleep from 8 hrs to 2 hours ..

pleazzzze.

 

 

I think Amma recommends not less than 4 hours & to reduce sleep gradually. If

your hitting the 2 hour mark, then your in Amma's territory!
