Sleep is the best
The world is an unreal dream; only the eternal, unchanging Brahman is truth. What is changeable is not immortal. The physical body ages and dies, but the soul is ever young and unchangeable. This reality is Satyam, Śivam, Sundaram—Truth, Consciousness, and the invisible, eternal beauty. Humans are blinded by ignorance and attachment to the illusory world. Realization comes from understanding the five sheaths and the three qualities. All three qualities are necessary; pure sattva is not workable alone. Sleep is a divine gift for recovery, yet a human life should not be wasted in sleep. True partnership is pre-ordained; ignoring this brings suffering. Maintain health through yoga, good food, and positive thinking.
"Brahma Satya Jagat Mithyā. This world is unreality."
"Ātmā is ever young, ever unchangeable."
