Psychologists think that the deep sleep state is unconsciousness and they have absolutely no idea that unconsciousness is the non-dual nature of the Soul, the Self.

Many thinkers have not yet risen to the level of understanding "objectless consciousness." Only deep sleep can help them here. However, they are groping their way to it with notions of "the unconsciousness", the “subconscious” etc.

How do we know that there is a mind? That which makes you think or aware of anything-— the universe is what we become aware of. We use the word 'mind' when we are aware of the universe.

There is no agreement among psychologists about the nature of the mind. They have different theories about it. Hence it is only ordinary or superficial persons who have the conceit to say that they know what the mind is. But what mind is in itself, none can tell us without contradiction. Only when they can get an idea of the Seer -and Seen can they get out of their troubles and begin to understand the mind.:

Remember:~

The Soul appears as the universe in waking and the universe disappears as the Soul, the Self in deep sleep. The Soul is the universe and the universe is the Soul.

The universe is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.

The illusion and the reality are nothing but consciousness. Thus, consciousness alone is real and eternal.

Sage Sankara: ~VC~ if the universe is true, let it then be perceived in the state of deep sleep also. As it is not at all perceived, it must be unreal and false like dreams.

While deep sleep is a state of complete unconsciousness. The true state is the state of full and complete consciousness.

Deep sleep is still a state of ignorance. A true state of consciousness is a state of self-awareness. In a very real and true sense, the true state of consciousness is the state of “deep awake”. The self is fully asleep to the world of perceptions and fully awake in its true nature, which is non-dual consciousness.

The true nature of consciousness cannot be understood without Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. But it is not impossible to understand it.

People who speak about the true nature of the self without being aware that the self is not physical can only speculate about its nature. Because such people are confused about the nature of the self, their statements create confusion for others.

The three states can continue to exist and function after acquiring Self-knowledge. But for Gnani all the three states are unrelated because he has become one with the witnessing consciousness.

After Self-Realization, the duality is seen as existing but not separate from the Self. The 'Self' knows itself even though the duality still exists.

The duality exists as a condition that arises from the Self and then is absorbed back into it. It is due to the presence of the duality, (until it disappears by death), that Knowledge of the Self can be passed on by the Realized beings to others who seek such knowledge.:~Santthosh Kumaar
