Yesterday I went to sleep expecting to get up early and meditate. I set the alarm for 6 o'clock. In the evening, a French yoga teacher and mountain guide told me about the early morning hours in India, that they are the best for meditation - that they are good for Ryas<\/a> I already knew that. She also told me about the morning chants in the cities, I remembered the Mantra songs<\/a> in the temples.<\/p>\n

I woke up at 5:30 am, temple chants could be heard in the distance, no it wasn't a dream. I followed them, walked across the countryside in the dark, and to a place where the paths were already being cleaned at 6 a.m. on Sundays. The women were washing clothes, cleaning, looking after the animals, although the goats and cows still seemed to be asleep - in the courtyards of the small huts. The men were in the temple. There was a loudspeaker that could be heard for miles around. I greeted the gods and went back.<\/p>\n

On the way back, I passed a burial site from the Iron Age. The megaliths are 2500 years old. The burial site on which Auroville was built is 60 hectares in size.<\/p>\n

I had breakfast and went to bed. A wonderful sleep welcomed me and I dreamt of Auroville. I had now also arrived here in my dreams. It is these transitions between waking and sleeping states, in which the consciousness merely changes its state but actually remains in a continuum, that are the greatest happiness for me.<\/p>\n

There are so many types of sleep:<\/h2>\n
