Yes ji,


but, when i'm in bed it's the same mind that says "get up" and the same mind that then says the opposite "stay asleep" ... what a great friend the mind is sometimes :)


but it's the accompanying yearning that feels different to the standard thought in the head...it feels different to the computational "i must get up" ... it's more a feeling...hard to explain...


yes, sometimes instinctually i can latch onto the "must get up" thought and i find myself out of bed...ego says "woo, i'm doing amrit vela, i did this, i did this all myself..." then tiredness boredom kicks in...and the same mind says "sod this...back to bed"


It's the feeling, the yearning, the pull which i feel gets me up most days, not my thoughts... its that yearning/pull that gets me sat and doing my Simran and keeps me awake for the following 2 hours or so...


What is that yearning, what is that pull? i can;t control it...so where is it coming from? I Have days when i dont feel it...why? is it always there (grace) but i don't feel it when i get engrossed in Ego, Desire, Anger, Lust, Greed?


If i follow this yearning and go with the flow..then i feel contempt, i feel at ease...when i ignore it, yes my life continues...but i feel like there's something missing to my life...


Just my current thoughts and feelings...nothing more ji.
