Is sleeplessness part of the spiritual awakening process?

The beginning of your spiritual awakening begins with a small incident. This incident may last for just a few seconds. In Roman Catholicism, it is also called 'dark night of the soul'.

When we meditate for a long time, a few weeks, months, or even years pass. Many people think that they have not got any benefit from it, and it is true that doing meditation does not give any benefit unless some spiritual event happens to you.

When I started meditation, I was not getting any benefit. However, one day I experienced something different and this experience lasted only for 10 minutes.

During these 10 minutes, I had forgotten that the real world even existed. It seemed as if I had reached a different world. When I got away from my real world for just 10 minutes, my enjoyment of my real world increased even more.

When we sleep at night, we feel this thing for 10 minutes or more when we completely forget the real world. This is the thing that helps you to live in the real world. When you get away from this world even for 10 minutes, your excitement about this world increases even more.

When we sleep at night, thoughts keep going on in our mind, that is, there is no difference between sleeping and waking because as long as thoughts are going on in your mind, you are still in the real world even if you are dreaming. Why aren't you watching?

But there comes a time every night for 10 minutes when you are completely away from this world and whenever that time comes, you wake up in the morning and feel that you have had a good sleep.

Believe me, how do you prepare yourself for the next day after working all day? If you don't know the answer to this then this is the same 10 minutes when you are completely away from this world and these 10 minutes prepares you for the next day.

When you get away from this world for just 10 minutes, then this world becomes completely new for you, and then you start living this world with even more happiness.

Generally you do not have any such experience due to which you feel that you are just passing the day in this world and your tomorrow is going to be the same as you today.

“If we come back to spirituality, spirituality is not that which takes you away from this world, but it is that which teaches you how to be happy living in this world.”

You begin to realize that there is nothing like the real world, but everywhere there is an illusion. But when you become spiritual then you start living happily even in this world full of illusion.

I would like to tell you that try meditation once and get away from this world even for 10 minutes, then you will see how much better your experience in the real world becomes. Now this world is new for you, just like everything is new for a child, and he lives his life happily.

I don't know whether you have experienced anything like this in your life yet or not, but if you do, you will feel more connected to my story. If you have not had such an experience yet, then meditate a lot to forget the thoughts and let that small incident happen. I want to tell you that I am very close to my spiritual search and if you are also on a spiritual search like me, then surely you and I are definitely going to meet one day.
