It is always better to be active doing something useful for oneself and for others.” Further, he added, “I sleep well if my conscience is clear. Go to sleep with peaceful mind without worries. It is possible to sleep well if gone to bed mentally satisfied from the activities of the day. One should think of death above all things in life as a climax of the day prior to sleep.”
