The tendency to get up prematurely should be curbed with a determination that your reaching the goal is more important than sloth and ignoring body aches.
96. Meditations: In general I get up earlier & sit in time more frequently. Some days I have a lot of thoughts & other days not much. After meditation I feel quiet & reminded of the Master's path.
That is good; thoughts will be there and it is only the nature of thought that matters.
97. Meditations in general are quieter. On a few occasions thoughts of service & the Master but more often mundane passes by.
Please ignore the thoughts that arise during meditation and see whether you feel calm and peaceful after meditation.
98. Felt momentarily absorbed. Felt quiet. Felt centered. Some days thoughts of goal, sadhana, prayer. Some days thoughts of career, finance, competition and mundane things from immediate past days.
I am not able to understand much from these notings. You write that you were momentarily absorbed, quiet, centred. It will be better if you are clear about the states and take pains to record them. The remaining two sentences above indicate nothing of your condition during meditation and other such practices but statements about purely materialistic problems. There is a time for everything. We should think about finance, career etc., But to do so during meditations only indicates no clarity regarding the activities. Work while you work, play while you play is an old saying.
99. I discovered that during morning meditation, I spent a long time with thoughts and could only "dive" deeply the last 5 minutes. I understood the necessity to meditate one hour.
Please meditate as advised on the divine light without luminosity ignoring all thoughts. If you chase the thoughts as you seem to suggest you will never meditate but only brood.
100. Morning Mediations: My regularity in doing morning meditation has dropped as I came into the grips of sloth and Indolence and in addition to it my Ill health suffering from severe allergies did not cooperate.
