“SLEEP AND SAMADHI”.

– By MaddaliSwetha

There are a few common grounds between the known sleep and the unknown Samadhi. The unknown can be inferred with the aid of the known.

Sleep and Samadhi are both the process of going back to the Original State which is Bliss. The disappearance of the phenomenal. 

World is common to both. The Jivatman’s individuality shrinks in sleep and expands in Samadhi. The one is phenomenon and the other noumenon (a thing as it is in itself, as distinct from a thing as it is knowable by the senses through phenomenal attributes).
