The pause between the discharged breath and the intaken one is similar to the greater pause which takes place in nature between night and day at sunrise and between day and night at sunset. All these three points are important to man's inner life. But if he is ignorant and uninstructed he misses the opportunity to take the fullest advantage of them. Just as this can be done by meditating either at sunrise or at sunset, so it can be done by spiritual remembrance between the fall and the rise of two breaths.
