to live life fully live life regularly life is demanding our job, our obligations all these can drain us and we all need breaks from the regular routines of our life if we don’t get those breaks, we will break down at one level our body and mind is like a machine and every machine needs some down time to recover so we too need that down time and if we are to be fully available for our responsibilities, we need to periodically have time for relaxing, recuperating and the Bhagavad Gita talks about such regulated living in 6.17 and it states that be regulated in your eating, in your sleeping and importantly in your work and in your recreation also our breaks should simply be breaks they should not take so much time that we become disconnected from the world so during such breaks it’s best if we can do something which is relaxing as well as uplifting so when we learn to take such breaks each one of us is an individual and based on our body mind we might find particular things that relax us and we need to do those things but beyond the body mind machine we are souls and we also need the soul to be relaxed and if we can find something which is spiritually relaxing as well as physically and emotionally relaxing, that will be the best so thus going to a tour to a sacred place that can give us relaxation at the level of the body we are just having a change, at the level of the mind a change, body we are exploring something new at the level of soul we are connecting with Krishna so if we try to read something we read some spiritually illuminating literature then that will help us to grow that’s a break from our daily routines but we are also getting absorbed and elevated so when we thus recognize self observation when we start becoming inefficient, we start becoming irritable then we need to pause and now I need a break and the more we take regulate our work the more we will find that we will be able to work more effectively and not just work more effectively but grow more grow faster not just in our work but in our life, in our devotion and ultimately such regulated work where we through our work connect with Krishna and through leaving our work for something higher also connect with Krishna and our whole life will become Krishna and ultimately we will attain Krishna.
