Q: Are day-hours better than night-hours for meditation? I seem to get more concentrated at night.
That may be due to the calm and quiet atmosphere at night and also to your being accustomed to meditate at that time. It is because of the quietude of night and of early morning that these periods are supposed to be the best for meditation. Whether at night or during the day it is good to be regular. We ask people to have a fixed time for meditation; for if they make a habit, from the Abhyasa (habit) the response comes more readily, the response too gets into a habit of fixed time! But, of course, there are variations with different cases. Lele asked me to meditate twice a day, and when he heard that I didn’t do it he gave me no chance to explain that my meditation was going on all the time. He said I was caught by the Devil.
