1. Think as far back as your present memory goes. It will go back to a time when you were 4-5 years old. Look back and you'll realize immediately that EVERYTHING around you, including your body, has kept changing every moment, in one way or another, since as far back as you can remember. Not too long ago, you were a kid & your parents use to carry you around in their arms. Today, the situation is so different. Your own appearance, and everything around you, has changed so much. Yet, in all this, have you ever felt that YOU have changed? NO. It's your OWN experience that you are the SAME Krishni whom your parents used to carry around in their arms, even though your appearance today is vastly different from that little girl. So while everything, including your appearance, has changed so much, YOU, the one witnessing this ever-changing mayic world, never change.
2. How many times have you woken up in the morning & realized that you slept so peacefully the previous night that you don't remember anything of last 7 hours. I'm sure you must be having this experience almost every morning. But YOU DO REMEMBER, that you don't remember anything of this mayic world, including the existence of your physical & astral bodies, when you were sleeping peacefully. Because what is sleep? If you orget about the existence of your physical body, people say you're sleeping. Correct term is, you have forgotten about your physical body & have gone from the state of 'Jaagrit' to 'Swapn.' When you're in this state, your favourite star may be standing right next to your bed, with a garland in hand, pleading, "please wake up & marry me" & you won't notice, because you've forgotten your link with outside world, i.e. your physical body. But you do remember your astral body, and therefore since you are still giving him power, your 'jad' mann continues to remain active, and continues to run here & there. And you say next day, "I dreamed about this & that last night." that's actually your mann thinking, as it always do. However, if you feel really tired, (you can never be tired, though) you'll snap your connection with astral body also, and without your power, 'jad' mann is helpless. This is described as going from 'swapn' to 'sususpti' stage. Here, you don't remember your physical or astral body, so even mann is gone. The existence of Kaaran sharir we never notice anyway. So all connections with this world are gone. And still, we are very much awake, watching & noticing all this, because WE never get tired, we never sleep. So, we notice that we are not noticing anything of the maayic world, including our bodies. And that's why we say next morning, "I don't remember anything" because we do remember that we don't remember! Two things are easily understood. Even when we snapped all relations with maayic world, we suffered no loss in our existence, & we didn't changed. What this tells you? That we were never related with this realm anyway. 😊
