EXPERIENCE IN DEEP SLEEP
Ranjani (Faridabad, NCR):
Q)“Hari Aum! Kindly explain, Is there any experience in the deep sleep?”
Manish ji's reply:
[As understood by me]
“Yes. There is an experience, but not of the duality of the waking world that we experience when we are awake. This is because in the deep sleep. the ego has temporarily suspended its instruments of experience & action (Karmeindriya & Gnyaanendriya), having disassociated with the mind. At this time only the veiling power of Maya is at play and not the projecting power.
Since the Self is ever in full Awareness, the soul traversing from the waking, through the sleep, into the deep sleep, though being unaware of it, the moment it comes back in awareness as a waker, it recollects its blissful experience of its own deep sleep!
