The existence of ‘I’ requires the existence of awareness, which is the nervous

energy. In deep sleep there is no existence of nervous energy and therefore

there is no question of the existence of ‘I’ in that state. The ‘I’ requires the

awareness of itself. This awareness or nervous energy is a special form of inert

energy only. The inert energy produced by the chemicals in the brain flowing

through nervous system becomes the awareness or nervous energy. The rain water

fallen in the river Ganga is called as the sacred Ganga. The same rain water

fallen in a tank is called as tank water. In deep sleep the energy existing in

other systems is called as the heat of the body. Thus, there is no difference

between the heat energy and nervous energy in the fundamental essence.

 

When the nervous energy is absent, the feelings are also absent which are

called vasanas or samskaras. But the same feelings exist in the form of Gunas,

which are the pulses stored by the inert energy existing in the brain. The

qualities exist like a computer chip in the computer. Then the computer is not

in the state of working because in that state the electricity is not flowing in

the computer. This electricity can be treated as the nervous energy, which is

absent in the deep sleep. The chip in the computer is in the form of material

and this material is the brain. The pulses are in the form of inert energy. This

inert energy can be even called as matter from the angle of a scientist. The

scientist does not distinguish matter and energy at this level of inert energy.

Thus, the Jeeva, who is a bundle of qualities, exists as a bundle of pulses

called as “Sphotas” by the Hindu scriptures (Sastras). These pulses are stored

by the inert energy called as chittam. You are not

aware of any information stored by chittam. These pulses are the waves of the

inert energy. Thus, the very material of pulse is the inert energy. Therefore,

the material of these pulses is chittam.

 

You can call chittam as matter in the microstate as per the terminology of a

scientist. When the same chittam or inert energy flows in the nervous system,

the same chittam is called as nervous energy or awareness. Thus, basically there

is no difference between the awareness and inert energy. The same inert energy

when flows in a superior part of the brain in doing decisions is called as

intelligence (Buddhi). The same inert energy flowing in nervous system becomes

aware of itself is called as egoism (Ahankara). The same inert energy flowing in

the nervous system, aware of other objects or other information is called as

mind (Manas).

 

The mind, intelligence and egoism can be treated as awareness or nervous

energy because in these three faculties the awareness of other objects (as in

the case of mind and intelligence) or the awareness of itself (as in the case of

egoism) exist. But, in the case of faculty of chittam in the state of inert

energy, the awareness does not exist. Therefore, you are not aware of the

information stored by chittam.
