The Insomniacs

A rogi (sick), yogi (seeker) and bhogi (enjoyer) do not sleep at night.

– Sadhguru (founder of Isha Yoga Foundation)

Night life is much more than just party goers. As aptly said above a sick person will not be able to sleep at night due to the ailments he is suffering from or sleep may elude even a person who is stressed out.

Secondly a person who is a seeker of knowledge be it a student, a researcher, or even a writer who prefers working in the quiet of the night also lies awake at night. So does a person on the path of spirituality who follows certain rules related to his practice that may require him to be awake at night.

Lastly the person who is enjoying life by way of the senses that is food, travel, music etc will also be living the nightlife.

Time flies and a enjoyer one day becomes the sick person. But before he gets there he should try to experience the thrill of being a seeker.

  1. I love the quote and yes, nightlife is more than party goers. I love your last sentence because we never know when sickness will strike, and should live life to the fullest. Thank you so much for joining in my prompt. 💟
