#Chapter- 4.The Fourfold Aim of Existence and How to Achieve It-6.

1.
Please think over this matter deeply. 

Where was the mind in the state of deep sleep? It was not there.
 There was no thought of any kind. The body also was not there as the physical body. 

Did you exist minus the physical body and mind? Yes. 

What was your condition when you were there existing as independent of the physical body and the mind? “I knew nothing.” 

This is all that you can say. “I cannot say what I was. I was fast asleep.” Who is saying that you were fast asleep? 

In the morning when you wake up from sleep you say, “I was fast asleep. I had a very happy sleep.” My question is, who is making the statement? 

When you say “I had a good sleep yesterday” who is making the statement? Does the physical body make the statement? 

The physical body was not there. Is the mind saying it? The mind also was not there. Who is making the statement?


2.
It is a statement made by some peculiar thing which has the memory of having slept the previous day. You have a memory that you slept yesterday, and memory it is that makes you say that you had a good sleep yesterday. But what is memory? It is the recollection of an experience that you had earlier. Unless you had some experience, you cannot have a memory of it. Now you have a memory of having slept. 

That means to say, you had an experience of having slept. Prior to the memory that you have in the waking condition, you had an experience of something which you say now is sleep. Did you have an experience of sleep? You did not have any experience at that time. You were unconscious. 


If you had no consciousness in the state of deep sleep, as you say, how is it possible that you have memory now that you slept yesterday? Does an unconscious stone have a memory of anything? Do you believe that you are totally unconscious in sleep? There would not be a condition of memory afterwards. Remembrance of anything is not possible if it is totally bereft of awareness. 

Unconsciousness cannot breed memory. Memory is always of something which was consciously experienced earlier. That is to say, there must have been consciousness in the state of deep sleep that was covered over by something, due to which at that time you did not have any experience of it. The consciousness that was there in the state of deep sleep was covered over by some cloud like thing, some darkness which prevented the consciousness from being aware of itself. 

Thus, consciousness was absent, but yet it was there. That is the reason why you are having a memory that you slept.

To be continued ...

The Nehru-Gandhi dynasty starts with the Mughal man named Ghiyasuddin Ghazi. He was the City Kotwal i.e. police officer of Delhi prior to the uprising of 1857, under the Mughal rule. After capturing Delhi in 1857, in the year of the mutiny, the British were slaughtering all Mughals everywhere. The British made a thorough search and killed every Mughal so that there were no future claimant to the throne of Delhi. The Hindus on the other hand were not targeted by the British unless isolated Hindus were found to be siding with the Mughals, due to past associations. Therefore, it became customary for many Mohammedans to adopt Hindu names. So, the man Ghiyasuddin Ghazi (the word means kafir-killer) adopted- a Hindu name Gangadhar Nehru and thus saved his life by the subterfuge. Ghiyasuddin Ghazi apparently used to reside on the bank of a canal (or Nehr) near the Red Fort. Thus, he adopted the name ‘Nehru’ as the family name. Through out the world, we do not find any descendant other than that of Gangadhar, having the surname Nehru. The 13th volume of the “Encyclopedia of Indian War of Independence” (ISBN:81-261-3745-9) by M.K. Singh states it elaborately. The Government of India have been hiding this fact.
