Amrit Vela

Amrit Vela or the Ambrosial hours is the time of day before dawn. Given the calm that is characteristic of this time, Amrit Vela is the prescribed time for reciting the Japji Sahib, which tackles weighty matters.

Being a night owl, I rarely ever woke up at Amritwela, but I often stay awake till or past 3 in the morning, and no matter how tired or anxious I have been the whole day, it really is the quitest and most still time of the day. And the most creatively active and honest as well. Reminds me of the lines, ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਰਤਨੁ ਜਵੇਹਰੁ ਮਾਣਕੁ ਹਰਿ ਧਨੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਵੇਲੈ ਵਤੈ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤੀ ਹਰਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਈ ॥ ਹਰਿ ਧਨੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਵੇਲੈ ਵਤੈ ਕਾ ਬੀਜਿਆ ਭਗਤ ਖਾਇ ਖਰਚਿ ਰਹੇ ਨਿਖੁਟੈ ਨਾਹੀ ॥

I agree! Depending on whatever phase my life was going through at any given time, I've been both a night owl and an early riser. Being the latter was definitely better, yes for creativity but also for my overall health. But I also get why it is the harder of the two. The Gurbani you shared is beautiful, thanks! I think it's says a lot that references to Amrit Vela are found throughout the Guru Granth Sahib.
