Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “There are many similarities between the state of golden particles hidden in the wax and the state of Sushupti (deep sleep state) which we experience everyday. In the other two states, namely Jagrat and Svapna (waking and dream states), the experiencing of the fruits of Karma are very much evident. After the Jagrat and Svapna states, the state of Sushupti sets in. In this state, the individual does not have the knowledge of himself or of the world. He will remember that he existed in that state only after he comes out of the deep sleep state. But he will have no rememberance (Smriti) of the world which existed then. By this we can understand that during deep sleep state, the individual and his world remain unmanifest, just like the particles of gold in the wax ball. Therefore, the deep sleep state can be called as a mini Pralaya. And the big Pralaya can be called as Maha Sushupti. Because this is brought about by the Moola Prakriti, it (Moola Prakriti) is also called as Maha Sushupti. Thus, to signify the activity of the Moola Prakriti at the time of Laya, it is called as Pralaya and Maha Sushupti."
