DREAMLESS SLEEP

One evening I was conversing with my teacher sensei kirtie. I have spoken to many people on dreamless sleep and read about in the great bhagavad geeta that the yogi before his enlightenment will come into dream less sleep. I have never seen anyone describing so clearly the process. Whatever my teacher was telling me was sending goose pimples. It is like listening to the great Mozart on music or Tagore on poetry. The conversation was done in front of 3 people towards the evening of Krishna astami. Such a yogi’s word is rare and this will give the methodology for many aspiring meditators. What he said is as follows,
“For me I do not check the meditation while sitting in the prayer mat. I check my meditation in my sleep. A yogi never sleeps. The sleep is only for the body.
First I adjust my body
Then I check my swara or breath pattern
Then as I chant I go in to my sleep
I disassociate with my body
Then I dissociate with the room
Then with the time
Then of course at some point of time there is only chanting, nothing else.
Slowly the mantra disappears and merges in chid akash.
I do get dreams. It is yogi dream and it is of different quality. We work even in the dreams. That is god’s work. We connect to different places, people and events of life. Remember sleep is like mini death. I was in kali shila once. I was meditating in samshan for ten months and the duna or the fire used to burn throughout the night in homam. The smoke used to be thick and intense. One cannot close or open the eyes. It used to hurt so much. The body used to ache so much. I can use my mantra to dissociate with my body. Now also I have so much of ache for sitting for long hours. I just can forget all the pain by going into bardo. Of course I go into different loka’s and time zones. But that is god’s work
Learn chant your mantra as soon you get up or go to sleep. Hold your mantra as long as you can.
When you get up in the night, thank god. Sleep is like a wave, from one world to another. You can restart this once again
The last dreams before you get up will tell the quality of the day. I check my quality of intonation, the vividness of dreams or whether I can hold the mantra.
Whatever may be the quality of the sadhana the checking point is the sleep and the dreams.
Do not worry I will see you in the astral world tonight.”
I dedicate the merit of this article to the long life of my teacher and birth of son in my family vamsa.
