Another merging, or contamination, of lokik and alokik habits is that of waking up for Amrit Vela and join a party at dawn, Goa hippies call it "good, morning energy". For health freaks only. Taking the relay from people who are collapsing, having been drinking and taking drugs all night whilst you were resting peacefully - in Baba's arms
.
Going straight from a party to the Murli? Well, the younger you are, the easier it is. Paul, either you were very young or in a good stage of soul consciousness, flying! So you were doing double service to two different communities: at parties and in class! Bravo! All rounder, you gave your bones in it!
When people suggest that the BK routine is such that cult
members undersleep, they will typically reply that a yogi soul doesn't need as many hours of sleep as an ordinary person. It's the quality of your thoughts during the day that ensures that a short rest can be enough to recharge you. I totally agree with that; stress and negative thoughts drain you. If you stay up all night or part of it, doing creative and gratifying things, you can still be efficient the next day, in my experience at least!
Now I need a nap, my eyelids are closing ...
