Ms. Thrylokya asked: What is the spiritual significance of twilight in the morning and evening in which devotees concentrate on the worship of God?
Swāmi Replied: God is unimaginable. The first energetic incarnation called Datta or Īśvara is characterized by the unimaginable power of unimaginable God because unimaginable God merged in Īśvara. Hence, just like unimaginable God, Īśvara is also characterized by the unimaginable power called Māyā. The definition of Māyā is that it is the unimaginable power by which even impossible things can be made possible (Aghaṭana ghaṭanā paṭīyasī māyā). In the twilight, the impossible thing (that light and darkness cannot stay together) became possible because twilight is a mixture of light and darkness. In this way, the twilight indicates the unimaginable power that indicates God called Īśvara. Due to this special indicating point, the twilight in the morning and evening became holy to worship God.
