Eat little, Sleep little
« on: April 25, 2012, 12:51:21 PM »
As far as I know, Guru Amar Das ji used to tie his hair onto a wooden peg a few inches above his head as he sat cross-legged, so that if he fell asleep while doing simran his head would drop but his hair would be pulled and he'd wake up. Baba Nand Singh ji used to sit on a plank across the top of a deep well, so if he fell asleep while doing simran he'd fall and die. Basically because he'd rather be dead than forget God's Name. There's a shabad about 'why did I fall asleep.'. Guru Gobind Singh ji said eat little and sleep little.
Practically, I've tried doing things at the extreme i.e. little food, little sleep, I did get alot of blessings, but ended up falling asleep at work and my body got too weak without proper food. The real thing is to be a Khalsa - Sant-Sipahee. Healthy and strong like Baba Deep Singh ji and sharp and alert rather than falling asleep through laziness.
The body is a machine, it needs sleep, exercise and food. To me `eat little, sleep little' means don't get so lazy that you sleep through amritvela and forget God's Name. And don't get led by your tongue's desires so much so that you have lost your taste for doing Naam Simran. (sacheh naam kee lagee bhukh). But sleep and eat enough to be healthy.
