[quote:tarfonwxx:MV8xODUxNTk1X0VFQjlDQ0Ez] The best time for making oneself alone is at night, when everyone is asleep. Ideally you should go to a place outside the city and follow a solitary path where people don't even go during the day. Empty your heart and mind of all your mundane preoccupations and then work to nullify all your negative traits, one after the other, until in the end you nullify all sense of self completely. First work on one character trait, then another and another, until you reach the point where you are free of any self-centeredness and any sense of independent existence. You must be as nothing in your own eyes. Then you will be worthy of attaining true self-nullification and your soul will be merged with its root. The whole universe will be merged with you in your Source. You and everything with you will be merged in the Unity of God. - Nachman of Bratslav http://azamra.org/Essential/hisbodedus.htm [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydz90BDJM_A&feature=relmfu[/youtube] [/quote]
