Be a Morning Person for ever.

All the awakened spiritual masters live on this earth with only one mission that is to awaken people who have been asleep for several births with opened eyes.  To be conscious is to be alive and  to be unconscious is to be dead.  Those who are aware from moment to moment live in the present and those who are not conscious always think about what happened and dream about what will happen and miss the present by living in the past and future.   Here are few English expressions connected with this.

People or pupils who are not conscious of (=unfamiliar with) something need awareness programme.  If they are familiar with it, they are “no stranger to" it.

1. I’m no stranger to these rules and regulations and yet I’m a bit unwilling to follow them.
2. Why do we need an awareness programme on this? You are no stranger to this. (=you are already familiar with it)

If you “keep your finger on the pulse", it means that you stay familiar about the recent changes and developments about something.

1. Computer field is fast growing from moment to moment and it is essential that you should keep your finger on the pulse.
2. Can you do this work? Is it something new to you or have you already kept your finger on the pulse?

If you are awake and alive, you are “in the land of living.”  If you are not awake, somebody should “wake you up", knock you up or keep you up.  If you are awake and full of energy, you can be called as “a morning person" as well.

1. You are not in the land of living and let me continue this subject tomorrow.
2. It’s my duty to wake you up to what is happening here in your absence.
3. Nothing will keep up a person who has no aim in life.
4. This meditation will knock you up to realisation of truth about God and soul.
5. He is always a morning person, isn’t he?


“These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness, and worship without awareness.”
- Anthony de Mello
