Short Story: Laters versus early risers. Which type are you?

The Mullah Nasruddin had always been a morning person, an early riser, as he had a practice of getting up early every day to practice his meditation, and also take some exercise. The Mullah practised a system of exercise, and self-defence moves, developed, and used, by the ancient Uygur Turks, called, "yapmatoren." And the Mullah practised a meditation practice, which involved him performing both energetic, and relaxing, phases to it. This was known as the "ohhoahha" dynamically active, meditation form. Firstly, would come the energising segment, which involved twirling, and dancing, like the Dervishes do too. This would raise his energy. As a double whammy though, he would also chant out loudly the power words: "HA HA CHA CHA KA", as he twirled. After twenty minutes of this, the second phase would begin. Tired out completely, he would flop down into his outdoor chair, almost collapsing into it. Then, he would chant the slower, calming part, which in its effect, was so relaxing, that it was energy draining, in a cleansing way. He would then chant the words, quietly, within himself, making no outward noise, at all. "SH SH EM EM ON" This meditation always refreshed him, both inwardly, and outwardly, for the coming day, whatever it may bring him in its stead. The Mullah's wife, though, was a night owl person. She came to life, late at night. The Mullah was often annoyed, because after a day of busyness, study, and writing, she would get him out into the garden, once when the heat of the day had passed, to cut the lawn, do some pruning, or to perform some maintenance task, around the house. She hated the sun, so she always waited until it was early evening, and when the sun was starting to go down, and had lost some of its heat. The Mullah was always tired by then, and he just really wanted to relax, and to take it easy, for the rest of the night, rather than to do any hard physical work, at this late hour of the day. After all, by that time of the day, he had already been up since 4 am, in the morning. Why are some people morning people, and others night people? This is really going deeper than what you might think, and it is because of karma, and rhythms of consciousnesses, and connective alliance to the best way to resolve past karma, at your best activeness level for you. Your rhythm, circaidically speaking, follows your beings level of best activity that suits your body type, mind, and personality, for this lifetime. So, you are inbuilt right from when you are born, as to what preference you will have in life for either being a morning person, and early riser, or a night owl, a later.
