JUST fifteen minutes before the sun rises, when the sky is becoming a little lighter, just wait and watch as one waits for a beloved: so tense, so deeply awaiting, so hopeful and excited – and yet silent. And just let the sun rise and go on watching. No need to stare; you can blink your eyes. Have the feeling that simultaneously inside something is also rising.
When the sun comes on the horizon, start feeling that it is just near the navel. It comes up over there; and here, inside the navel, it comes up, comes up, slowly. The sun is rising there, and here an inner point of light is rising. Just ten minutes will do. Then close your eyes. When you first see the sun with open eyes it creates a negative, so when you close your eyes, you can see the sun dazzling inside.
And this is going to change you tremendously.
Praise for the rising sun
GET up at five o’clock before the sunrise and for half an hour just sing, hum, moan, groan. These sounds need not be meaningful; they have to be existential, not meaningful. You should enjoy them, that’s all – that is the meaning. You should sway. Let it be a praise for the rising sun and stop only when the sun has risen.
That will keep a certain rhythm in you the whole day. You will be attuned from the very morning and you will see that the day has a different quality; you are more loving, more caring, more compassionate, more friendly – less violent, less angry, less ambitious, less egoistic.
