Swajan : Mota, I get too many thoughts in my mind and it keeps on going all the time. I wake up at night suddenly and feel as if somebody is trying to tell me something.
Pujya Shree Mota : There is always the chain of thoughts going on in the mind of a person who lives ordinary life in the world. A person who does not have this kind of thoughts is either a dull and inert person or a yogi with wisdom. So it does not matter if there is this chain of thoughts in the mind. We should have the understanding of not getting tangled up in this chain of thoughts. We can by choice develop this chain of thoughts regarding any problem and make an appropriate decision. After implementing the decision we should be care free and not worry about it. We should not let our mind stay disturbed after implementing our decision regarding the presenting situation.
If you are bothered by the persistent thoughts at bed time then try to explain to the mind "This is not the time to have this kind of thoughts. You think about it when it is needed at the time of the work. Now is the time to be peaceful". After explaining to the mind do naam-smaran with love and devotion. The reason for waking up from sleep suddenly is the deep rooted impressions within you. The thoughts of your duty, tentative job situation, difficulties and uncertainties, laziness are the expressions of deep rooted conflicts that your consciousness is trying to bring it to the surface. Due to the worry and burden in our mind while dealing with the conflicts and difficult situation, our consciousness cannot express and bring up these deep rooted conflicts on the surface at that time. This happens since we are too busy to notice these intimations from our consciousness. So we should be completely peaceful and worry free after performing our work and duty.
