[Advaita-l] Sleep, tamas and brahman

[Ryan Armstrong]

Dear Bhakshar ji

I did not express this idea very well.
The intent was contextual.
So, from experience, deep sleep is a state of desirelessness.
In retrospect (i.e. now) I can look back and say that in the state of
sushupti, no other was known, and no ignorance experienced.
But by this, I cannot claim to Know the Self.

So I should really have qualified this.

Regards
Ryan
