[D.]: I have an impression that in deep sleep I have something - TopicsExpress



          

[D.]: I have an impression that in deep sleep I have something akin to samadhi. Is it so? M.: It is the waking ‘I’ that asks the questions - not the ‘I’ in sleep. If you attain the state of wakeful sleep which is the same as samadhi, while still awake, doubts will not arise. Samadhi is one’s natural state. It is the under-current in all the three states. This - that is, ‘I’ - is not in those states, but these states are in It. If we get samadhi in our waking state that will persist in deep sleep also. The distinction between consciousness and unconsciousness belongs to the realm of mind, which is transcended by the state of the Real Self. (From Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi 136)
