Should I put effort?

Should I put effort to get sleep?

Should I put effort to make a flower bloom?

Should I put effort to make the sun rise?

Should I put effort to enjoy the morning dew?

Should I put effort to witness the truth?

All the above needs relaxation, silence and observation and no effort.It is just the matter of making the mind still.The more the mind puts effort on anything, the more it is disturbed - just like a stone thrown on still water. Where does the mind go during a clear, neat, dreamless sleep? If such a sleep amounts to such stilling of mind unknowingly, then how will it be when the mind is stilled consciously? Then what about people talking about putting effort to reach somewhere?Its still the effort put to quench the three lettered word:)
