Sleeping is not something you can try to do.
In fact, the harder you try to sleep, the more difficult it becomes.
Sleep happens not through effort, but by giving in and allowing your exhaustion to overtake you.
Spiritual awakening is much the same.
You cannot make yourself have a spiritual awakening.
The process of spiritual transformation cannot be forced or rushed.
You can, however, give in to the process and allow yourself to be awakened slowly, patiently.
