In the previous case, the use of the measureis wrong whereas in this third case, my imagination brings thewrong conclusion and not the wrong use of the measures. Thisis called the third activity of the senses and mind.The fourth activity is the non-application or absenceof the measure. When the process of applying is absent thenthere is the non-application which we call sleep or absentmindedness.This is the absence of awareness on the arena ofthe mind and the senses. It is not possible for us to use thismethod but nature makes us use this method and we call itsleep. You cannot do it if you want. Sit silent without doinganything. Does the mind keep quiet? It is not possible. So it isnot possible to have the non-application of the measureexperienced by anyone who is conscious. Nature made it possibleso that the machine of the human constitution may not breakdue to continuous use. Nature does not allow us to go on applyingthe instrument continuously lest it goes to pieces. It makes asudden non-application for a duration of time that is requiredfor a repose or rest. Then again it allows you to apply and wecall it awakening.Now it is clear that we sleep and that the mind and thesenses sleep everynight. If the real I AM in you sleeps, youcannot wake up again. In that case, sleep means death, andthe body is to be buried as soon as one sleeps. During sleep,our lungs are breathing, the heart is beating, the blood is circulatingand the digestive system is functioning. The real I AM with allhis workers is not sleeping in you, while you are asleep in termsof the mind and the senses. It is only a switch off of a particularroom in the house. Since people know themselves only as mindand senses, they believe that they sleep. Suppose I was bornin this room, and brought up here, not allowed to come out ofthe room. My idea of the house is only this room and nothing
Lesson - 2 33else. The rest of the house and the work in the other roomsdoes not exist to me. Like that many people on this earth liveonly in one room of their constitution, born and brought up inthat room, the death also occurs in the same room. They haveno idea of their own house and the equipment and the facilitiesthey have. This is a total absence of measure. Nature does itfor us since we do not know when to stop and when to start.We feel we have many important items of work and if we goon working, the body will be shattered to pieces. Nature preventsthis by giving a cut off or the non-application of the measures.The fifth activity of measure is what we call ‘Impression’.Press plaster of Paris upon a coin and take it off. You will getthe picture of the coin upon Plaster and it stands in time. Likethat the mind and senses have their own Plaster of Paris toreceive and preserve impressions. When once received youcan react again with the impression in the absence of theoriginal. That is what is called memory. I go to India and thenthink of Rudolf. He is there before my mind with hisgestures, movements and voice, tape recorded upon the samePlaster of Paris. His smile and his conversations also can beheard in India with my mind. With this apparatus and functioningof memory, I can talk to my people in India saying, “While Iwas in the house of Rudolf .. , while he was talking to me whilewe were taking a journey into the Alps”... etc.Among the four activities described hitherto I canexperience the first three activities with the fifth one, memory.Of course, we cannot have the fourth one in memory, that is,sleep. We can know that we wanted to sleep and that we hadslept, but we cannot know that we are sleeping. All the threeother activities can be used with this fifth activity Which wecall memory. When you know how to wake up in the real selfwith the help of the Yogic activity, then you can know what
