Translation

Annotation

Scriptures analyse the deep sleep state in order to know the reality of the world. The mind gets resolved in the deep sleep and hence there is no cognition of external objects. Consciousness however is present even in deep sleep. The non–experience of external objects is otherwise described as experience of ignorance or nescience. The self experiences bliss during that stage, as described in the Kaivalya Upanishad. This bliss, though similar to the bliss of the enlightened person in samādhi, it is not due to enlightenment but because of nescience. Object–less bliss is the nature of Atman and hence the world presented by nescience during waking and dream states is said to be unreal.
