The night is the ideal time for spiritual practice. Meditation and japa should be performed regularly with great devotion. They purify the mind. Proceeded for quite a while, normal routine with regards to this sort is helpful for the foundation of a consistent otherworldly state of mind, giving one an essence of internal satisfaction. A person should not leave his seat immediately after meditation but should sit for a while thinking about the object of his meditation. Then he may recite prayers and hymns along similar lines to intensify and stabilize the meditative mood and inner joy. Even after leaving his seat he should not talk with anyone, but should rather be contemplative and remain by himself for some time. Practice like this fosters a continuous undercurrent of meditation, helping to keep the mind on a high level and bringing to the heart great joy.
