4. ‘Early to bed and early to rise: makes a man healthy,
wealthy and wise.’
This
proverb signifies that early rising is very beneficial for all of us. It is
natural because all the creatures on the earth also wake up from their
night’s sleep early before the sun-rise. In 'Aayurveda', the habit of
early-rising has been emphasized to keep our body fit and healthy. If we get up
early in the morning, we may accrue so many benefits for our health. An early
riser may go out for walk and jogging. He or she can do meditation, yoga and
other physical exercises. By doing meditation and introspection, we become
wiser than before. We become wealthy in the sense that our health is also our
wealth. If we are healthy, then and only
then we can do hard work and be wealthy. A farmer may tend his cattle and he
may go to his fields to do other activities. A house-maker can do so many
activities of the house early in the morning. She can prepare breakfast for
school going children. She can also finish several other pending tasks. A
student can revise his or her lessons and can complete pending home-work. In
this way the day becomes long for an early riser. So the proverb ‘Early to bed
and early to rise: makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise’ is quite appropriate
for us.
