Part II — The hour for meditation

Question: When is the best time for meditation if you want something like peace, for example?

Sri Chinmoy: If you need peace, meditate early in the evening, between six and seven. Nature, as it offers its salutations to the setting sun, will inspire you, comfort you and help you.

If you need power, meditate at twelve noon. The blazing sun and the most dynamic hour of the day will help you.

If you need joy, meditate early in the morning between five and six. Mother Earth, with her sweetest love, will help you.

If you need patience, meditate in the evening. Meditate sitting at the foot of a tree. Meditate on the tree. Its sacrificing consciousness will help you.

If you need love, meditate at midnight at your own picture. Your Inner Pilot will help you.

If you need purity, meditate on your incoming breath and your outgoing breath early in the morning before you leave your bed. Your soul will help you.
