First Awareness

The first thing we become aware of when we wake up from our sleep in the morning is that we are “awake and alive.” That is the first awareness. It's interesting that when we go to bed the night before, we are tired and exhausted. Some people even say they are “dead tired,” but when we wake up in the morning, refreshed in the body and soul, it is almost as if we are born again. It is only right therefore when we wake up in the morning that we thank the Creator for giving us back our soul and mind totally refreshed.
