sushupthi : Deep sleep avasThA : state is kA? : What? 


guru's Answer: aham : I na jAnAmi : Do no know kim api : anything at all mayA : By me nidhrA : Deep sleep anuBuyathe : experienced suKena : with total pleasure ithi : Thus it is (known as) sushupthi : Deep Sleep avasthA : State..

Now perhaps the most interesting part of the jiva is explained..! We exist in the waking state.. This is accepted by all. and we do exist in the dream state.. as we are able to recall in some cases even the color of the sun rise (!!!!) we experienced in dream state..!

When it comes to deep sleep, all bets are OFF..! We only recall the fact that "OH, my god.. I had such a peaceful sleep..!" Why so? that island called "deep sleep" must be the most desired by one and all.. As a living proof, have my guarding dog scout, who is cuddled up like a baby in his small bed.. and if I wake up upon hearing a noicse, I have to pour water on his head to wake him up!

Deep sleep is the natural equalizer for ALL living beings..! Br U declares "a king is a king in waking state and a beggar is a beggar in the waking state.. a blind man is a blind man in waking sate. however, in deep sleep a king is no longer a king.. a beggar is no longer a beggar and a BLIND MAN IS NO LONGER A BLIND MAN..!

If we think about the depth of this statement, it leaves us speechless in wonder..!

All differences exist in waking only.. but none in deep sleep.. as per scriptures all living beings find their ONE-NESS with Isvara: in deep sleep.. so there is no difference in a gnAni's deep sleep and an agnAni's deep sleep.. but a gnAni wakes up as a gnAni and an agnAni only as an agnAni
