QN: What meditations can be done to fight procastination?
ANSWER:
Sat Naam
I bow to the Light Within You.
There is a beautiful line from the saint Kabir. It has helped me to remember it whenever I feel like putting off tasks.
He wrote "What you are going to do tomorrow, do today, and what you are going to do today, do right now!"
[Full quote is in the Guru Granth Sahib 1371 :
kabeer kaal kara(n)thaa abehi kar ab karathaa sue thaal ||
kabeer kaal kara(n)thaa abehi kar ab karathaa sue thaal ||
paashhai kashhoo n hoeigaa jo sir par aavai kaal ||138||
Kabeer, that which you have to do tomorrow - do it today instead;
Kabeer, that which you have to do tomorrow - do it today instead;
and that which you have to do now - do it immediately!
Later on, you will not be able to do anything,
Later on, you will not be able to do anything,
when death hangs over your head. ||138||
Full gurmukhi version:
Kabir Ji's lifestory in an online book -
ANother one of his verses which has helped me goes something like, "Whenever you get the chance to meet a saint, go an meet them, even if its for just an hour, or half an hour, or half of half an hour."
dust of your feet
Harjit
