Let our collection of stay awake quote sayings from the best authors, philosophers, and wisdom saints help trigger the much-needed inner self-change and understanding.
These spiritually awake quotes remind us there is more to life than a normal, mundane way of living.
If we do not ignite the inner awakening, there will be very little aliveness left in life. One feels as if one is dragging life just for the sake of it.
A famous saying is that those who kill time slowly kill themselves too.
That unexplainable empty hole in the heart will slowly eat us inside out if we prefer to live socially well-adjusted lives.
Remember the amazing Hindu Monk Swami Vivekananda’s speech on the famous Chicago podium where he called young and energetic people to wake up and listen to their deepest inner calling.
Be attentive to what you are doing and spending your time because what you value always gets your time.
Leo Tolstoy rightly says, ‘Remember that there is only one important time, and it is now. The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion.’
Being awake means being aware of your thought process, the mental chattering, and the inner realization of what is going on in life.
Ask yourself, am I wasting time on petty things and socially borrowed definitions of living?
Or am I using my time for a higher purpose that challenges my comfort zone, breaks my mental concepts, paves the way for newness, and makes me a better human being?
Let the word awakening not remain a mere concept. Let it enriches our lives in the deepest way possible.
