Sleeping
Is not just a physiological function
September 25th 2012
To many people, sleep is just a physiological function! They are tired and they go to sleep, just as they eat because they are hungry, without being aware that sleeping, like taking food and all other physiological functions, can be experienced on a level higher than the physical. You will prove it if you make a habit of preparing yourself as you are about to fall asleep by saying, ‘Lord, while I am asleep, I want to learn. Accept me in your school of love, wisdom and truth, so that I may learn to give ever richer meaning to my life.’
The next day, when you wake up, open your eyes consciously, and for a few minutes start to analyse your inner state, the thoughts and feelings that come to you. You will discover that you have received the solution to a problem, insights into a matter that is preoccupying you. Do not get up without doing this review first.
