Emotions at Night


Somebody asked a beautiful question!
Quote:
Why emotions are deep during night time and less deep during daytime?
I have observed myself...Day resists my emotions but during night , my emotions are bright.
Why so ???
unquote:

It may not be so for everyone.... that is beside the point...

There is no denying that spiritual activities happen better, when consciously pursued, during night! It is just in the 'nature of things'.... How to make use of it is entirely up to us... That is why, practitioners of occult sciences, that ill-famed 'black-magic' etc are also said to be more active during night...

Traditionally, the three nodal points, sunrise, mid-day, and sunset are considered to be significant for a person who leads a worldly life... (Tri-sandhya)... where as, the fourth one 'midnight' (4th Sandhya), finds three kinds of people active... bhogi, rogi, and yogi (the indulgant, dis-eased, and the seeker)....

Undoubtedly, it is the intuitive aspect of the mind, which finds itself a bit 'freed' of the logical pre-dominance of the mind, with that extra-support from the nature around (nature within ???... I leave it to mystic-way of explanations!)....

My answer on that forum:
quote:
Almost everything in nature supports the emotions to be so!
Please see, the logical mind finds little scope to divide when a person is in a pitch dark area, eyes open! During the day time, the thought process is incessantly involved in identifying everything that we see with our eyes.. the proof is, when the eye meets something 'strange' (never seen it before), we experience a 'pause'. At night nothing like that can happen.. Yes, we can argue, we have those bright electric devices, but these devices cannot affect the physiology like the Sunlight... (During solar eclipse, the birds... other noisy creatures... do not make much sound!)... astrologically (In ancient Indian way of looking at it), planet Moon is connected with mind, and Sun is said to represent the person as a whole.... the earth's gravity-system is different during night... Human body is fluids for about 70 percent ... phases of moon affect large water bodies .... high tides during full moon... some effect is there on human body... inmates of mental asylum too exhibit extra activity at night, and during full moon/new moon.... The focus of our mind is naturally inclined inwards at night (meditative practices for intense seekers happen during mid-night)... for normal people, that drowsiess is induced better during night... (proof: some people who complain bright lights disturbs their sleep at night, ... the same people comfortably catch a brief nap after a heavy lunch under the shade of a tree on a bright sunny afternoon!... the night-induced-sleep, is different from the stomach induced nap of day-time!)...
..
This observation about emotions-at-night being different from day time .... is an amazing one! 
(This elaboration is obviously inadequate... but other readers may feel fatigue with a longer one... At least if this one persuades further seeking, the purpose is achieved!)
