sleep

[Guest guest]

Deep sleep is only the state of non-duality. Can the difference between the individual and Universal souls persist there? Sleep implies forgetfulness of all differences: This alone constitutes happiness. See how carefully people prepare their beds to gain that happiness. Soft cushions, pillows and all the rest are meant to induce sound sleep, that is to say to end wakefulness. And yet the soft bed, etc., are of no use in the state of deep sleep itself. The implication is that all efforts are meant only to end ignorance. They have no use after realisation.

Grant:

 

do 'you' ever have anything to say?

 

or..

 

do you just like repeating dead words of little bhindu decedents?

 

ok.

 

ah....

 

here's a good one.

 

Swami Nikhilanandra:

 

" the Swami courageously told them about the eating of beef by Brahmins

in Vedic times. one day, asked about what he considered the most

glorious period of Indian history, the Swami mentioned the Vedic

period, when five Brahmins used to polished off one cow "

 

 

i think they all went to sleep afterwards and awoke right after losing

consciousness.

 

what a meal and how enlightening!

 

and after they ate that cow they had no use for it.
