Indian religion is based on varnasharam ( four—fold
classification of life, with duties assigned according to qualifications for
each quarter of average age of man taken as hundred years ) . Religious
disciplines demand that in the last phase of life before death, man live as a (
sanyasi ) an ascetic . Unfortunately,
the old tradition are fast vanishing but when they were prevalent they were
stricktly adhered to. When due to some
reasons one could not imbibe sanyas , till his last moments, that was a
provision to provide it symbolically as” Twara sanyas “ the process of which
took only a short time. Hence the
forefold process if adopted in the daily routine. While going to bed would be
no less than a high level of spiritual sadhana.
Next comes the routine of the morning. The day should begin
with a conviction that the opportunity given by the creator as “ life for the
day “ is to be utilized to be best of advantage. In the period beginning from
awakening to the moment of putting one’s feet down on the floor after leaving
the bed, only this thought should remain in the mind, that the new birth (
lease of life for the day ) is almost welcome. With this in mind, best possible
plans should be chalked out for optimum utilization of the day. Within above
period a framework for the activities of the day may be worked out with a
sincere integration of concepts promoting ideals. This process of contemplation
is like morning Brahm sandhaya ( a spiritual ritual ). It can be practiced very
easiy without any problem of concentrains of time, procedural details or
arrangement of provision of provision of implements of rituals. This is known
as the yog sadhana of Atm Bodh ( self realization ).
