Meditation
First things must come first. When you awaken in the morning, meditate. If you don’t, the whole world will crowd in to claim you, and you will forget God. At night, meditate before sleep claims you. I am so strongly established in the habit of meditation that even after I lie down to sleep at night, I find I am meditating. I can’t sleep in the ordinary way. The habit of being with God comes first.
—Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, “Man’s Eternal Quest”
