Something to Think About

We are born alone, we will go alone; and the one who belongs to us is the Father. Unless we go back to him, we will not be able to overcome this feeling of loneliness. That is why no matter how many friends we have, how many good relations we have, how much wealth of the world we have, when you sit alone, you will feel you’re all alone in this world. Having everything, you are all alone. There’s no contentment within you. Still you’re yearning for something which you do not know, which you cannot account for. That is the natural inclination of the soul towards its own origin. Unless we let it go to its own source, we will not be able to overcome this feeling of loneliness.
_{Maharaj Charan Singh, Spiritual Perspectives, Vol. I}

Those who complain of sleep at the time of taking exercises usually sit halfheartedly and only as a matter of routine. Tell these people to keep the mind’s attention directed toward the eye focus, even during working hours. Work needs attention only momentarily. Most of the time the mind is off the work anyway. This inner utilization of the attention within will not hinder work; in fact, the work will go on better.
