THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
Many take tea and coffee in excessive quantities; this kill the body's
capacity to sleep. Drivers who drive vehicles during nights take excessive tea
and students who are preparing for exams also do the same. Do not avoid sleep,
this is a great mistake. A person can live without food, but not without sleep.
Many students have the habit of studying through the night and sleeping during
the day. Most living beings, including birds and beasts, sleep during the
night. A person, who reads in the night as a habit, is cultivating Rajasic and
Tamasic qualities. Change this habit slowly. If you read throughout the night
and sleep through the day, your retention of what you studied will not be very
strong. If you must put in hard work, get up early, say 3 or 4 a.m. and study.
After early morning study, do not go and sleep again. This is the Sathwik way
of life. (Divine Discourse, "My Dear Students", Vol 2, Chapter 2)
