Sleep (Sushupti) is not merely a state of inactivity of passive repose. It has deep philosophical significance.
Vedantins study this state very deeply and carefully. It gives the clue for non-dual philosophers to trace, search and find out the hidden, silent witness, Atman who is ever waking, although the mind and the senses iue at rest. Mother of this world, Rajarajeshvari, takes the Jivas back to Her Lord during deep sleep, hugs them to Her bosom, bestows refreshing peace, new vigour, vitality and strength and makes them quite fit for the ensuing battle of life on the following day. Had it not been for this sleep, life is absolutely impossible in this physical plane when misery, diseases, cares, worries, fear and anxieties of various kinds trouble men every second. If a man does not get sound sleep even for one night, if he loses his sleep for 3 hours in one night by keeping watch over a sick patient or attending a cinema, how miserable, gloomy and depressed he feels the next day.
