When you suffer from the burning sun, you are refreshed by a dip in the Godavari river. When your hearts are parched by the burning desire for equanimity, you must dip in the cool company of the spiritually great. Have a time-table for spiritual sustenance, just as you have now for physical sustenance. A breakfast of pious repetition of Lord s name (japa) and meditation (dhyana), a lunch hour of ritual worship of the Lord (puja), ‘tea and snacks’ of reading scriptures or sacred books (pravachana) in the afternoon and a light dinner of devotional music (bhajana) in the early hours of the night. If you follow this regimen, you can sleep soundly and wake up refreshed. Feel that you are born with the dawn of every new day; that you nestle in the lap of death when your eyes close in sleep. For, what happens in deep sleep? The body, the senses, the mind, the intelligence, all are negated and there is not a trace of awareness of the world. (SSS Vol.5)
