I know by experience that it is not by
lessening the food that sleep becomes conscious; the body becomes restless but
this in no way increases the consciousness. It is in good, sound and quiet
sleep that one can get in contact with a deeper part of oneself.
***
Before you go to bed, concentrate a few seconds in the aspiration
that the sleep may restore your fatigued nerves, bring to your brain calmness
and quietness, that on waking up you may, with renewed vigour, begin again your
journey on the path of the great discovery.
***
I hope that soon you will completely recover and that you
will not feel tired any more. But are you eating enough? Sometimes it is hunger
that keeps one from sleeping.
My blessings are always with you.
***
Sleep is indispensable in the present state
of the body. It is by a progressive control over the subconscient that the
sleep can become more and more conscious.
***
Proper rest is a very important thing for the sadhana.
