Awakening Through Night and Day: Finding Peace, Love, and Enlightenment

As I lay in my bed, I talk to the night and welcome her. I tell her, “You are a part of me,” and I thank her for coming at the end of every day. She tells me that I need to go home and get some rest. She makes me appreciate my home and creates a longing within me to be home. Home is the only place I want to be. I am filled with peace and love as I rest in the comfort of my home.

I express my gratitude to her for being so full of compassion as she approaches with such gentleness. Dusk marks her subtle appearance, transitioning into evening, which gradually grows into a dark night. Twilight then paves the way for her to disappear into dawn.

As I lay in my bed, I talk to the day and welcome him. I tell him, “You are a part of me,” and I thank him for coming at the end of every night. He tells me that I need to wake up and awaken everyone. He makes me appreciate the sunlight and creates a longing within me to be light. Light is the only thing I want to be. I am so awake and full of energy as I wake up in the glory of this light.

I express my gratitude to him for being so full of might as he approaches with such spirit. Dawn heralds his mighty appearance, evolving into early morning and brightening into a beautiful day. Noon then paves the way for him to disappear into dusk.

As I lay in my bed, I talk to both darkness and light and welcome them. I tell them, “You are a part of me,” and I thank them for making me complete every day. They reveal who I am and what I am here for. They make me appreciate the purpose of my existence and create a longing within me to awaken. Awakening is the only state I aspire to be.

I am enlightened as I awaken to the love, compassion, might, and light that lie within.

I express my gratitude to them for being my beloved Guru as they approach with truth and reality. They hold my hand both in the night and in the day. The feminine presence of love and compassion makes way for the grand appearance of darkness, which grows into a vast void. Similarly, the masculine presence of might and light then paves the way to disappear into enlightenment. They are constant companions, yet I don’t see them.

With Love, Vandana
