It is believed that when a devotee chants the name of God with a sincere heart, he reaches close to God. But many times it happens that chanting the name starts coming, the mind does not remain stable and laziness comes. This problem occurs to almost every devotee at some time, which makes people worried why this happens? A similar question was asked by a devotee to Premanand Maharaj that Maharaj often falls asleep many times chanting the name of God. What should it do? So let’s know what Premanand Maharaj responded to this subject.
Premanand Maharaj said that if a person feels sleep while chanting his name, he should focus on his food. Food should always be sattvic, consume less spices, oil, onion-garlic, meat, alcohol, if you abandon and get at least 6 hours of sleep per day, then you will not sleep while chanting the name. After this, Maharaj said that if you are sleeping, then get up and walk, pour cold water on the head, but try not to sleep while chanting the name. Maharaj says to sleep well while sleeping and fight after sleeping. Life can be won only by fighting sleep.
Maharaj says that sleeping while chanting can cause obstruction of practice, but its solution is regular routine and practice. If we sleep on time, eat limited food and make the routine sattvic, the mind will be concentrated while chanting and will not disturb sleep.
