Hello friends.

Are there times when there is no gravity?

No.

It's like a law.

Do you understand?

It's like a law of the universe.

It's just akin to a law which means that there is never a gap in your awareness.

There is never a gap in your knowingness.

There is never a gap in your consciousness.

So tell me now,

In deep sleep,

Are you aware?

Is awareness there?

Is consciousness there?

Yes.

It is there.

But why do I not experience the awareness or the consciousness in deep sleep?

Because I'm not aware.

Sometimes I don't remember.

There is no sometimes.

You never will know the deep sleep state.

But there is consciousness.

There is knowingness.

Which element or which faculty in you figures out something,

Knows,

Analyzes something?

Which faculty?

What in you analyzes?

Who's analyzing right now?

The intellect.

Is the intellect available in the deep sleep state?

No.

Because it is not available in the deep sleep state,

I cannot analyze the deep sleep state.

There is no object,

No thought object available in the deep sleep state.

That is why I don't know the deep sleep state.

It is beyond the realm of my little intellect.

Is it clear?
