Alarm clock
An alarm clock or alarm is a clock that is designed to alert an individual or group of people at a specified time. The primary function of these clocks is to awaken people from their night's sleep or short naps; they can sometimes be used for other reminders as well. Most alarm clocks make sounds; some make light or vibration. Some have sensors to identify when a person is in a light stage of sleep, in order to avoid waking someone who is deeply asleep, which causes tiredness, even if the person has had adequate sleep. To turn off the sound or light, a button or handle on the clock is pressed; most clocks automatically turn off the alarm if left unattended long enough. A classic analog alarm clock has an extra hand or inset dial that is used to show the time at which the alarm will ring. Alarm clock functions are also used in mobile phones, watches, and computers. |

Burning Match Anticipates the New Day
Perception of truth starts like a burning matchstick in a windy night. The apprentice lights it in a most careful way, and the match goes out. The apprentice lights another match and the wind blows it out. The student goes on trying until he sees the box of matches is empty. By this time, due to an apparent coincidence, a lighted lamp emerges out of nothing, ready to be used by the pilgrim. The lamp then enlightens uncomfortable things. βShould I put the light out?β, the student questions himself, and yet he perseveres. The light gets stronger: it shows beautiful, higher things and ugly aspects of life as well. As the pilgrim learns to bear truth, he suspects he is surrounded by blind men. He is tempted to make believe he is blind, too, so that he can remain in touch with the consensually established delusions. He is afraid of the solitude if he follows truth. Yet he is losing his ability to support established collective falsehoods. As he stops struggling against the feeling of solitude, he sees other people in the same situation. Mutual help starts: the light of one adds to the light of another. The awakening gets deeper and the challenges are not small. He sees that the key to victory lies in keeping the central focus of consciousness on the ideal of right action. Secondarily he examines with rigor and severity anything that is not correct. When the pilgrim finally notices his lamp is running out of fuel, he looks to the East and, below the radiance of Venus, the morning star, he sees the unlimited light of a new day is arriving in time. |
