Translation
sleep
Other Translations
yogic sleep, non-existence, nothingness
Background
- Sleep is not the cessation of mind (not a break from vṛttis)
- Even in deep sleep, the mind is still active — occupied with “nothingness”
- True yogic stillness (samādhi) is awake, aware, and intentional, not drifting into unconsciousness
