114. Judicious

Chinmoy, is it judicious on my part not to sleep at all and to meditate all day and night so that I can realise God in a few months time.

Chinmoy:

Madal, be _wise_; don't be a fool. At the present state of your spiritual development your body needs at least seven hours of sleep. If you deny the body its legitimate demands, then long before you reach God, death will reach you and spread his arms around you.
